Re: [AFMUG] Plowing parallel to telephone

[Jaime Solorza]

Works on buried lines.   Seen it done in project we did for fms
Technologies years ago in Cotulla, Asherton, Encinal and Laredo, Texas by
backhoe operator we hired to dig tower base and anchor pits.   He found
telephone lines, gas ,sewer and water pipes that didn't show up on school
maintenance plans or known to them... It was cool to watch himkind of
mystical...of course it's Aliens, it's always Aliens but seriously
saved us allot of money and grief.  A contractor also working on this
project cut under ground power line and shut down most of power in Carrizo
Springs

Any of you folks who know both dc plant and even more know small wisp

Id love you to do it out of the kindness of your heart, but i do have some

Im just tired of the apc ups waste and super ghetto runtimes on batteries
coupled with having to accept we are destroying runtimes by letting the
apcs die. please, somebody, please. Otherwise i have to go to the
facebook groups, and thats like going to a mikrotik or ubnt forum.

Re: [AFMUG] Plowing parallel to telephone

[Chuck McCown]

I would not have any problem opening a ped and connecting a transmitter to a 
sheath connection.

Some of the Rycom transmitters and probably others will inductively couple into 
the cable by just setting the transmitter over the line.  

And you can also use the clamp-on inductive couplers if are uncomfortable in 
disconnecting a sheath ground wire.  

What is the worst thing that can happen?  Someone comes along and tells you to 
disconnect your transmitter.
I would rather a contractor have a transmitter on my cable while digging than 
not.

How often do you daylight/hydrovac their line? In our area, other utilities 
recommend doing so every 30-50ft when you are going parallel to their lines, in 
the assumption that their line won't have any extreme deviations in that 
distance. 


As Chuck said, using your own cable locator is the another option as long as 
there are not too many other lines in the ground. Some utilities may allow you 
to clamp your cable locate transmitter onto their pedastals/etc to transmit 
into their lines; some won't officially "allow" it but their techs will look 
the other way if you're friendly with them. But you can always attach your 
transmitter to the locate/ground cable in the nearby NID of a customer you/that 
other provider share without anyone complaining.

I've had good luck with fiberstore's patch cables.  However, I recently
order a pigtail from them that, for some inexplicable reason, does not

Sorry for the late reply on this.   The Arc 30 dBi dish will work at that 
distance if there isn’t a lot of noise out there.   In our less noisy 
environments, we are shooting 10-12 miles with B5cs and the Arc dishes.   
However, that is about the max distance we will go with a 2 foot dish.   After 
that we are moving to 3 foot dishes.   Aiming gets tougher on those longer 
links, even though there is line of sight, you can’t pick out the other end 
without binoculars (at least my eyes can’t  ) so we built a rifle scope that 
mounts to the dish that has improved our aiming time at that distance 
immensely.   If we are on a grain leg that doesn’t have too much vibration, we 
can usually aim with the scope, and only have to tweak the up/down tilt once or 
twice.   The horizontal is bang on.

I want to know if the arc wireless 30dBi dish will work for 12mile ptp link 
with ubnt radios. Because I have one arc wireless 30dbi dish setting at my 
house not deployed yet.
