Jerry, what you know of about the Microwave Backbone for the Pipeline
can be put on the head of a Pin.... AND it mostly has been replaced
with Fiber in that last 4 years...... Sonny, I have reinstalled
old Grainger Radio Stuff that can from the preliminary Pipeline Backbone
System, all over Alaska.... and most of that stuff has since been
replaced, and junked, since then.... and NO, they in fact don't "Glitch"
due to Vibration, as that whole Backbone was a Diversity Hot Standby
System that used Multiple Antennas on each Path, to deal, not with Sonic
Booms but High Winds, commonly found on Mountain Tops, where most of the
Backbone HighSites are located.....
Keep digging Jerry, the hole your in now, is getting deeper with each
post......
