You can still pick up signals from ionica.
But only if the wind is blowing in the right direction.
I almost went for a job there in the mid 90s, that was until I saw what they were doing, taking a Nortel microwave transceiver that cost over $20k the time and essentially giving it to subscribers for less than BT line rental... I just thought it was some kind of money laundering operation, people piling money in, share price went through the roof and some people cashed out early, much like most tech companies seem to be operated. Then the obvious "the emperor isn't wearing any clothes" moment and no-one wanted to put more money in. The whole farce ended when the debt couldn't be increased.We had a pile of the antennas at work in the early noughties and went about making building to building 2.4GHz surreptitious links, great fun, just gut out the electronics and put your own WiFi dongle on a bit of co-ax.
