Yeah we have been up there twice with them and what ever is mixing is intermittent and of course won't do it while we are there. Most is 800 meg stuff so that really should not bother however they decided that our 4"X4" 20' tower was a good place to mount their dish and TX antenna about 3' from the bottom of the Station Master. There is some strange stuff up there the MT. Washington Observatory has weather gear that TX data to the top of Mt. Washington and 2.4 gig tx/rx. A good friend of mine (W1IMD) is also know as Mr Intermod so on the next trip I'll see if I can drag him along.
