I wrote many boring postings ago:
"---my best received carrier power was very nearly always within a db of
my calculations."

That was very nearly, not every single microwave shot. That was during
normal propagation conditions, not during fades. It was and is a true
statement. Such results can be achieved by anyone who plans the system
correctly using the required accurate information.
