I never had problems with rain even on the 20-something mile links, snow
wasn't a problem either. Fog, now that caused problems =) Not saying it
isn't possible, but the biggest concern was the wind from the storm tearing
apart the zip ties holding the antennas up =)

The links should be setup so that a bird taking a dump on the 
feed horn doesn't cause problems..
