This one thought he owned the airport. He was the only airport mechanic and
pretty much the only one there most of the time.
We had an off-airport hangar near the threshold of one of the runways.
He decided we were causing a hazard and went and built a fence with a gate
so narrow the plane would not fit. He also drilled through a cable when
putting in one of the gate posts. Long feud. We outlived him. But were
never able to use the hangar again. Nice brand new with an electric bi-fold
door.

Aren't airport mechanics on the list of the last people you want to piss
off or have a bad attitude?

I once was pissed at a local airport mechanic. He had to cross some
tracks going to and from work. I imagined a low power transmitter
installed in his truck and a receiver at the tracks. Everytime he came
by a relay would short out the two rails. I still smile when thinking
of this. He would have had to drive about 2 miles out of his way each
time.

I like their pickup trucks that can go on the rails though. Pretty
funny when you stop for the crossing gates and a pickup truck rolls by.

Railroad regulations would end up prohibiting the majority of our
installs. Cant climb any tower structure that doesnt have an
installation report accompanying the preinstallation engineering report
and if it hasnt passed inspection in the last year it cant be accessed,
there goes every residential tower.
Customers would walk away with an outstanding groundplane in their home
though

Most railroads have been installing towers and PTP links to support
their requirement for the positive train control technology. This
from what little I have looked in to also requires them to have more
sensors and such along the rail lines. With these towers and
backhaul networks in place, it would make for an easy addition to
add a WISP business. The railroad already bought and paid for
everything but the PTMP units and CPE on the rail tower network. We
should all be so lucky.

microwave ptp is probably part of the trains legacy comm systems.
Most
RR's throw as little tech away as possible... never know when that
4884 will come in handy... We just heard about a 2.3 UP link that
ATT
is in a uproar about and so far UP has said pound sand... FCC will
moderate this..
