Hi Bob, Joe,
This is very interesting; I have the reverse situation. My home internet connection is from a wireless ISP who uses 2.4 ghz 802.11b Wi-Fi equipment. The run from my house to his central antenna is about 3/4 mile, with a gain omni on his end, and a grill on mine. There are a few trees that we're shooting through, trunks mostly, aiming between the fluffy stuff. I've had this setup for several years now, and by far most of my problems with service are in the fall. Rain is not a factor (it doesn't really start raining much here until winter sets in). Not the leaves (they're falling not growing). Not anything I can put my finger on. I'd love to understand why. Any ideas?

Ethernet. I need to create a point to point Ethernet connection of a mile or so. I am especially interested in using 900 MHz to go through rather than over the trees...
SO true. As the leaves are falling, my wireless internet access is now up to 5 bars from the usual 2 bars or less in the summer. When all the leaves are off, I'll be up to 8 bars and have 11 Mbyte rates again...
