I do....

My shop end..... http://www.bagpipes.net/files/Picture%20016.jpg
in bad weather.. http://www.bagpipes.net/files/Picture%20009.jpg
My relay           http://www.bagpipes.net/files/Picture%20020.jpg
My sisters house http://www.bagpipes.net/files/Picture%20023.jpg

Issues found....  Wet Snow and below 0 temps
                       Fix  Wet snow = Broom on a pole
                        Below 0 temps  = swap out WAP54g with a spare
                        Only 1 cause a problem....

Bandwith on a "near line of site" system at little over a mile.... T1 speeds 
via a test
1.18 Mbps
which means you can download at 150.88 KB/sec. from our servers.

Speed can vary pending weather conditions.....
