Re: [AFMUG] Rohn 25 on metal building

2018-04-02 Thread Steve Jones
imho, 120 foot of 25g may be cost effective today but full of regret down
the road, unless youre meticulous about inspecting and building to rohn
spec. theyre super easy to twist, very prone to the bolt holes wallowing
out, and if your drainage isnt right, they love to have blowouts. dont
skimp on the guy brackets and just loop the leg, thats effectively
installing a saw. im personally terrified of 25g over 50 foot, its so cheap
people skimp on both upfront build and maintenance. I know this, i put in
enough of them incorrectly before i knew better. there are margins in the
spec, but thats for your safety.
calculate out the value of the farmland you lose over the anticipated life
of the tower, you might find you have alot more budget for an appropriate
self supporter

Because it's currently illegal to operate a 3.65ghz radio without a
license... but it's also against the rules to operate a radio that's not
registered, and most people don't seem care too much about that, so I'm not
really sure why they bother with the license.

If you do an ABAB channel plan, you can do four sectors per tower on 20mhz 
channels using GPS sync, but that pretty much gives you no room to work with if 
you into interference, so in practice, more using larger that 10mhz channels 
probably isn't going to be realistic long term for most of us.

From what I've seen, most people are just registering every radio for the

actually coordinate anything (and I think that really is the best option in the 
current climate, since there's a good chance your going to have to change 
channels at some point because of newcomers to the area)... then there are also 
the people that never bother to register anything, or register a few radios and 
then give up because it's too much work...

I'm aware of at least four other companies in our general area that have 
AP/base stations registered, but last I checked only one of them had any 
customer locations registered... for some reason, a lot of people seem to be 
under the Impression that you only need to register the AP (or eNB, in LTE

the grandfathering protection was probably overrated anyway, since, as far
as I know, it only applied to gear that was in the air already at that
point... we have very little, if any, 3.65ghz stuff still active that was
at the time - the vast majority of what we have was added after that point
anyway.

channels using GPS sync, but that pretty much gives you no room to work with if 
you into interference, so in practice, more using larger that 10mhz channels 
probably isn't going to be realistic long term for most of us.

Scaling can become a major problem as well for both neighbors. Just another

That said, I have had coordination conversations with another registrant.  It 
was friendly, but it was only marginally productive.  We were not able to agree 
on TDD ratios or a plan for dividing the available 50mhz, so basically we kept 
doing our own thing and resolving interference cases individually as they came 
up.  It sounds like some of you have bad neighbors.

I'm aware of at least four other companies in our general area that have 
AP/base stations registered, but last I checked only one of them had any 
customer locations registered... for some reason, a lot of people seem to be 
under the Impression that you only need to register the AP (or eNB, in LTE 
speak), but that's not the case and never was - everything is supposed to be 
registered (there is an exception for mobile devices, but that doesn't apply to 
anything a WISP would be using).

However, depending on how many folks are in your area it still might be a good

we find folks don’t always update their information on the FCC site and you can 
still run into interference.   If there are too many folks in the area, it is 
easier to find open channels and then register.

I'm looking at deploying in a small town but 2-3 other operators have bases

If it was to be operated on licensed frequencies, did it still have to be type 
approved?  I thought all commercial equipment operated on licensed bands could 
be self certified now. 

But they had plenty of chances to stop, comply, confess etc.  If you 
immediately show a compliant attitude it always goes much easier at the FCC.  
Not saying you should not get an attorney, but you should stop transmitting 
immediately and give them whatever documents you have if you have them to 
support  your right to operate there.

Yeah, something like that seems kind of pointless... even with 10Gbps,
there's a good chance it's going to just overload your upstreams anyway,
and just about any DDoS attack worth mentioning is going to kill 1Gbps
these days. DDoS mitigation on your upstreams would seem like a better way
to go to me.

Right, our biggest challenge with YouTube TV when messing with the different 
options for our own use was the interface.   You either have to Chromecast it 
or use Apple TV.   My basic requirements for streaming are:

No proprietary device needed – Supports Roku, Apple TV and others as well as PC 
and Moble.   (YouTube TV is kind of there)

DVR – Been running the DirecTVNow beta DVR, seems OK.  YouTube’s works well.   
I would like to try Philo.

Local Channels – Would really like to have this on the same DVR as the rest of 
the content.   Ie. Wouldn’t want a separate DVR for OTA local channels.   Not 
sure if Philo does any local channels?   

Has FoxSports - 

 

The good news is there are lots of options.   The bad news is that the field is 
still evolving and things change frequently.   However, our primary goal was 
accomplished, which was getting rid of the expensive satellite bill.  (Although 
in the interim that means subscribing to DirecTVNow and YouTube TV 😊 )
Likely we will do DirecTVNow only once the DVR is fully rolled out.   They just 
got the Roku DVR client in Beta in the last week or so, that was a big one for 
us.

Re: [AFMUG] OT streaming

2018-04-02 Thread chuck
I read an article in Fortune that says Youtube TV is on Roku now.  But no 
Discovery channel so that is a no-go for me.  And $40.

Philo is $16, on Roku, has DVR and has Discovery.  A hat trick for me.  
Now if I could only add HBO and Showtime for $7 or $8 a piece we would be 
golden.  

There is so much free stuff on Roku, low income folks getting subsidized 
lifeline internet and an aerial could have an ocean of TV to watch.  
I spend a bit of time on Pluto.  Mostly the movies.  Reruns.  The Eye Candy 
channel cracks me up.  I cannot imagine how they can make money producing such 
a thing.

Right, our biggest challenge with YouTube TV when messing with the different 
options for our own use was the interface.   You either have to Chromecast it 
or use Apple TV.   My basic requirements for streaming are:

No proprietary device needed – Supports Roku, Apple TV and others as well as PC 
and Moble.   (YouTube TV is kind of there)

DVR – Been running the DirecTVNow beta DVR, seems OK.  YouTube’s works well.   
I would like to try Philo.

Local Channels – Would really like to have this on the same DVR as the rest of 
the content.   Ie. Wouldn’t want a separate DVR for OTA local channels.   Not 
sure if Philo does any local channels?   

Has FoxSports - 

 

The good news is there are lots of options.   The bad news is that the field is 
still evolving and things change frequently.   However, our primary goal was 
accomplished, which was getting rid of the expensive satellite bill.  (Although 
in the interim that means subscribing to DirecTVNow and YouTube TV 😊 )
Likely we will do DirecTVNow only once the DVR is fully rolled out.   They just 
got the Roku DVR client in Beta in the last week or so, that was a big one for 
us.

OK, so grounds are related to the problem.

There may be something unusual with timing pulses on the power that is
causing the surge suppressor to fire.
Forrest would know much more than I about that.

I honestly don’t know if anyone has tried my product with a Medusa before.
I have a 100% gas tube version that may solve the problem.


I am still having some troubles with PTP450i holding 1gbit ethernet

Will these gas tube versions work any better?  Will they still keep

Re: [AFMUG] 3.65 NN base registration

At a minimal try to find out who the base station owners are and what 
they are doing because I have seen older C-band station show up as 
registered sites.
Which is ok because they have filters on their gear to notch out what 
they dont use. If your right in front of the dish it could be an issue 
otherwise should be ok.

 If its other Wisp then good luck.

need to do a SA before anything

HBONow is $10 through the Roku.  That is what we use.  It isn't the full
HBO, but most everything is on there.

 I think it may be the best value.

 This should allow me to disconnect directvnow and slingtv.
 However I am not disconnecting slingtv until I have a low cost
 alternative to adding HBO.

 Philo has HBO as an investor and was supposed to be adding it shortly

50Mhz is not a lot of room for even 2 providers in a county wide area. 
Because customer wants 4k tv to work so either 15mhz or 20mhz wide
channel spacing is needed how many channels can be squeezed out of that 
including reuse with gps?
Scaling can become a major problem as well for both neighbors. Just 
another band turned to crap after everyone becomes a wisp in your area.


Medusa save us from the nether regions of UHD4k LOL

The problem is that it was impractical to register every subscriber

make their registration page respond faster.



That said, I have had coordination conversations with another 
registrant.  It was friendly, but it was only marginally productive. 
 We were not able to agree on TDD ratios or a plan for dividing the 
available 50mhz, so basically we kept doing our own thing and 
resolving interference cases individually as they came up.  It sounds 
like some of you have bad neighbors.

From what I've seen, most people are just registering every radio for 
the entire 50mhz, so it's not like you can use the information in the 
database to actually coordinate anything (and I think that really is 
the best option in the current climate, since there's a good chance 
your going to have to change channels at some point because of 
newcomers to the area)... then there are also the people that never 
bother to register anything, or register a few radios and then give 
up because it's too much work...


I'm aware of at least four other companies in our general area that 
have AP/base stations registered, but last I checked only one of them 
had any customer locations registered... for some reason, a lot of 
people seem to be under the Impression that you only need to register 
the AP (or eNB, in LTE speak), but that's not the case and never was 
- everything is supposed to be registered (there is an exception for 
mobile devices, but that doesn't apply to anything a WISP would be 
using).

You need to register the stations, but there is no requirement to
coordinate.   However, depending on how many folks are in your
area it still might be a good idea to make sure they are up to
date on all their registrations.   Sometimes we find folks don’t
always update their information on the FCC site and you can still
run into interference.   If there are too many folks in the area,
it is easier to find open channels and then register.

I have a NN license but have never used it, what is the best
practice/process for registering a base when you have other

anything?
