Let us know how your signal is impacted in heavy rain, but I think that might be a rare occurrence in AZ. I am not sure if that would still be a problem with the low orbit satellites, but it seems like it would.

Only one day, but we had some moderate rain last night and didn’t notice any dropouts while streaming Andor.

And right now it is not permanently mounted. Just basically the RV version of the antenna that you can just set on the ground.

And when we get rain, we get rain. Usually a heavy downpour that will last 30 minutes and flood the arroyos.

I know the cableco made a big deal about rain fade on DirecTV and Dish systems, but I have had DirecTV for 30+ years and yes it happens, but the 3 days cable internet was out for an ice storm far exceeded in total time my rain fade outages.

It is an interesting question as I didn’t notice rain fade outages from my WISP. But I will pay attention going forward.

All I know from my days on working with Satellite communication equipment, was I hated really bad down pours (think midwestern tornado season), and winters. We had to support a lot of FAA weather stations and the weather data was transmitted via satellite. Weather did impact the communication, but again this was late 1990s. The winter issues besides the snow storms, was the bigger dishes filling up with snow, and the LMBs getting covered with ice, especially in areas like Grand Forks ND.

It sucked being on-call in the winters for this company, because you knew your sleep was going to be interrupted all week.

I have been in Arizona during "Monsoon Season", which is what you call "Summer". It does not rain constantly, but when it rains, it is fucktastic.

Pacer? How about Aztec? Still, not as bad as Deplorean.
 
My patent case against apple involving the M- and A-series packages is done, as the parties have settled. I can say no more, of course. Now I have some more free time, though.
