The Mexico City challenge
Link with compromised line of sight: high gain against urban geographic obstructions. The integrator reported struggling for a long time on a link that was «not very long but very complicated».
Success story
Compromised LOS · Mexico City (NP3 / high gain)
27.5 km urban link with compromised LOS: after moving to NP3, an 80 MHz channel stabilized with ~96.6% availability over 15 days.
