Only 30 cm? No significant loss.

H2000 cable,  0,2 dB/m

lots of pictures available ;-)

or, if you like to see the set up on a church tower:

(this is an official monument, so we could only tie-wraps for fastening
the equipment).

We have a large surplus of Ubiquity Nanostation-M2loco, which cost Euro
35, ex VAT and ex-shipping. If you have a VAT-number you wouldn't pay taxes.
This includes a PoE power adapter.
THese M2's have been used for one week only during a large event.

Are your total costs (including housing etc) less than Euro 35 ?

If you (or anybody else on this list) are interested in buying some,
please let me know.

They run also on OpenWRT.
