Hi Everyone,

I wanted to jump in and let everyone know that we apologize that we are 
no longer able to stay on top of the Amazon instance associated with the 
list.  Amazon has been great as a platform, it really has worked well, 
all up to the point where the hackers have caused us more grief than we 
are equipped to deal with any more.


For the record, AWS has been 100% (and I mean 100%) flawless in 
performance and consistency.  The problems a couple months ago and now, 
are of a nature of hacks from the outside world, of which we were able 
to mitigate them last time, and to some extent, again this time.  My 
main staff member who managed this, is no longer accessible to me, so 
problem solving on these hacks has been slower and less effective than I 
am comfortable with.   Therefore, it seems beyond the scope, long term, 
of what makes good sense for the list, for us, or for Chuck to have to 
deal with.


Pride is a funny thing, but we actually took pride in being able to 
provide the service, even absorbing the cost beyond what some have said 
is reasonable.  Likewise, we are also proud to see AFMUG continue at its 
new home, under a new “group care” and our helping as much as we can 
with that effort.


Thank you for being patient as we move this all over to a new home.

I am rabid about seat belt use.  I lost a son, who was wearing a

There is only so much you can do.  If the other employee did not have

shouldn’t beat himself up because someone else chose to be stupid.
Seconds, astounding about the Rohn anchor point strength.  Have you told 
Rohn.
I got an OSHA citation once.  I went in with the whole company, set 
through a session where they chewed my ass for about an hour.  Then 
another hour of training, then we were on probation for a while with 
periodic visits.  They reduced my $25K find to $2500.
The main take-away from the experience is that you need to show a “ 
compliant attitude”.  Fall all over yourself showing them that you need 
to learn how to do things better and you need their help to learn better 
methods etc.  Kiss their ass, treat them as gods, and in the process you 
may actually learn valuable things.  But that whole showing a “broken 
heart and contrite spirit” thing is key to getting the fine reduced.
Just lay on the floor and say “beat me master, I have sinned, please

Hi All,
A little background: We had an employee die late last year.  He climbed 
a Rohn 25 tower at a residential customer location and did not use his 
fall protection gear.  He went through safe climb training at CITCA, his 
fall protection gear was in his truck, and a co-worker with him told him 
to put his harness on, but he exercised poor judgement and climbed 
without it anyway.  He slipped, fell approximately 30 feet, and was 
pronounced dead about an hour later at the hospital.

We received two OSHA Citations today.  I’ve attached them.


I spoke with the OSHA representative handling our matter on Friday. He 
tells me that Rohn 25s have not been tested by the manufacturer to 
support 5,000 lbs and therefore are not a suitable anchor point for 
securing oneself.  He says all work on Rohn 25s must be done from a 
lift.  I think they are just trying to come up with reasons to fine us.
When I went through safe tower climbing, *I* became the competent person 
to identify where suitable anchor points, using the 5,000 lb estimation, 
were.  When my employees go through the training, they become competent 
in determining where suitable anchor points are, do they not?
If an employee is given instruction on the use of fall protection gear, 
told to always use it, and exercises bad judgement and refuses to use 
it, am I responsible?  One of my employees was there and told him to put 
his harness on and he refused.  Consequently, that employee has gone 
through a lot of turmoil putting himself through “what if” scenarios.
Just looking for thoughts on this.  Fight it, and if so what approach?  
Pay it and make it go away?  Something else?

My very anecdotal and non-scientific answer is that if the battery still shows

I didn't think so until I read a blog from a heavy user after 
legalization.   This was a lifelong user that went "over the top" when 
he became a) rich   b) legal.Basically after a 3 month bender it 
took 6 months to clear his system from testing positive and his mind to 
be clear enough to get released from over watch.   That is one end of 
the scale but it shows to me that there is a accumulation dosage and 
that after taking it you are somewhere on the scale all the way to a 
touch and clear _the next day_...   I have an over-aggressive spleen. 
It's tough for me to get drunk much less stay drunk but it seems THC 
gets all the way past the blood into the tissues.   But I would rather 
deal with a pothead any day than a drunk...  I just personally think 
alcohol for the common user falls off faster.  Oh and edibles...  two 
hours after consumption to effect...  That's a tough one to do anything 
but actual sobriety test...

I own a small storage business called 277 Storage 
. First I would say, there is storage business 
software that wraps this all up for you. For something of that scale, I 
would think the ROI of that software is prohibitive, but likely less so 
than doing it yourself with what I assume your time is worth. At least 
that was the case last time I looked. There is somebody in Utah that 
claims to have software a small business 
 like you 
describe could afford.
The second thing I would say is I wouldn't do it with conex boxes. While 
I Like those containers and they are generally tighter than purpose 
built storage buildings, they turn renters off. Every site I have seen 
with them looks a bit dodgy and people seem to expect to pay less for 
those sites. A fence would be advisable. Units without fencing get 
burglary attempts than non fenced. I think it is likely due to the 
perception thieves have about the rest of the attitude on security.
Maybe I am wrong but the people who call me are more worried about 
security than price. I would also suggest putting up a HikVision, or if 
you prefer, Ubiquiti, camera system as well. Even a fake camera system 
would be worth the effort. Lastly, Throw all that out if this land isn't 
in a good location and just use conex boxes. Storage is a real estate 
business similar to others and if the location isn't good you will fight 
that uphill battle. If there are a lot of businesses in the area they 
may like those for storage. Don't know. We have had really good results 
with our warehouse storage. Call if you want to talk about it.

Anderson Power pole would be my first preference but they are probably

That would be the part of a horn antenna that is most important, the 
very high fall off outside of the spec'd beam width without the nulls 
and peaks outside.   Short story, ran into a FAA tech looking for 
interference of a ground radar at the local airport.   He was on a hill 
with a 5! foot horn antenna looking for the source ( it was a Macintosh! 
with a bad rf seal about 6 miles away from the radar )..  Huge work to 
swing that 30 db antenna but knowing the radial of the interference was 
exact.   He nailed the location in 1/2 day to the exact house.


On 4/11/18 8:21 AM, ch...@wbmfg.com wrote:

Speaking generally here, not about this product specifically:
A 30 is a 30 at some dB down from peak.  Most reputable antenna 
manufacturers cite the beamwidth at the 3 dB down points on each side of 
the main lobe.  That is called HPBW or half power beam width.
Some go out farther to the 6 dB point to make their beam width seem 
wider than their competitors.  Personally I believe that is false 
advertising.  But I am sure they do not share my opinion.
Look at the type of beamwidth.  Should state how many dB down somewhere 
on the spec sheet.
Other than that, horn antennas are very well characterized.  They are 
used as lab standard calibration antennas.  Other than the point where 
they choose to specify the beamwidth I think you can totally trust the

I Totally agree with josh.
They have a specific purpose so if you can deploy within
those parameters they are great.
Unfortunately our area isn’t conducive to that type of
deployment because of terrain.  In the mountains you need
antennas with a wider vertical beam because your towers are
on mtn peaks and some clients are same height as the tower
and other clients are on the valley floor. It’s hard to use
a spot beam to cover all that.
In the Midwest or other flat areas I could see them being
useful to spot beam the population centers.

best thing we did here (we operate out of an abandoned hospital) was 
put up as big of housings for our security cameras as we could find 
and put them in very prominent locations. We went from a broken window 
or tresspass almost every other week to it being a very rare occurrence.

Depending on the gauge, hog wire can be about the same difficulty
to cut as chain link. Not sure which one would be more or less
difficult to get through, but when you cut a row of chainnlink,
the rest folds up like an accordion.

I like concertina across the top, but the stuff you described
works too. Might be easier to work with.

Motion activated alarms can be effective.

If they will cut hog wire they will cut chain link I think.
Chain link fence company quoted $25/foot.

route to the next closest pop like Chicago.


I would like to host our own DNS and was planning on adding two servers 
for this in the spring but with cloudflare introducing this, we may just 
point customers to them now.


I've seen cloudflare racks and they have a ton of gear and reliability

will be much higher than our own servers as well.

For some reason everyone over estimates what is really needed for
robust caching dns.  You can safely use even a couple of raspberry
pis for almost all wisp sized networks.

The key architecture you need to ensure its that the dns server has
substantially similar connectivity to the net as the clients that
use that dns server.   The reason for this is that many web services
use information gleamed from the origin of the dns queries to
determine the closest server.   As a result,  you want the dns
server to have the same paths to the net as the clients as much as
possible.

Hi folks,

__ __

This has been a really timely discussion for us as we are
wrestling with the same kinds of questions as Adam mentions.  
With enough time (resources) and money, we would put a very

robust DNS at each Direct Internet Access drain point. However,
we have been aggressively moving to reduce our footprint at DIAs
so that we can have more of them and they require less
intervention and maintenance.   Putting any kind of server there
(Linux or otherwise) seems to complicate a pretty clean set up
that is currently MikroTik and Powercode BMUs.   In fact, that
is one of the biggest concerns we have if we were to move to
Sonar is the need to start putting Linux devices in DIAs and
towers (a topic for another day).   We do not provide
authoritative DNS for customers and don’t need it for ourselves,
so this is only a performance/cleanliness discussion.   We see
three main options:

 1. Find an appliance based device/server that is easy as heck
to maintain and doesn’t require site visits.  Something like
the Mikrotik CCRs.  Put them at every DIA
 2. Run a regionally centralized DNS server in a data center and
have the closest DIAs point to their respective data center
DNS server.    This would reduce the number of servers and
keep them in a data center environment
 3. Rely on 3^rd Party (google or otherwise).   We don’t believe
our servers will be more reliable than the combination of
multiple 3^rd party options, so this is a performance
decision.

__ __

I think the best decision would be a very simple appliance to
sit in our DIA’s, but we haven’t looked into it enough to see
what exists.   By simple, we would be looking for something that
we could do regular firmware updates only, and monitor with SNMP
just like all our other network devices.

A bit of a survey here
A couple of features I'm looking at for current/future products
would be much easier to implement using a certain feature found
only in relatively new web browsers, aka, Chrome/Firefox/Edge
updated within the last year.
One specific browser feature I'm looking at is webassembly. 
Various tools out there indicate that around 87% of the

installed/active browsers on the internet are recent enough for
native support.   Most of the browsers gained support for this
feature early to mid last year. With autoupdates being the rule
instead of the exception, anyone on a recent auto-updating web
browser should support this.  I'm mostly concerned about 'the rest'.
Support for the older browsers is possible, but it adds a level
of complexity (specifically a level of testing) which I would
prefer not to do if I could get away without it.
To be clear:  Almost all of the functionality of the upcoming
products won't require these functions.  A specific example of
something that might require this is setting up the scripting
functionality as I'm looking at various technologies which would
work best if I could run a chunk of webassembly code in the
browser as part of the code editor.  However, other than editing
a script, the rest of the functionality would work fine.
Thoughts?

The problem is there is a crap ton of stuff out there that needs
network sync.  And it all has a T1 as an input.
But most T1 trunking circuits are getting replaced with SIP.
So, I am building a cheap and dirty T1 signal generator that is GPS
and rhubidium referenced.  The hard part is easy.  The easy part
should be easy but all the T1 framing chips that used to exist no
longer exist.
The ones that are out there have massive CPU interfaces and tons of
registers that need to get set to get them fired up and running

Two similar questions:
Surge suppressors can blow ports.� If you have a surge, the surge 
protector will clamp all the Ethernet lines to ground.� That shorts them 
all together and grounds them.� That will also blow some POE ports.
So you need surge protectors to protect things from surges, but you need 
fuses to protect the POE source from the surge protector.� Learned this 
the hard way.

We have been shipping for months.
The cost of having a Netonix port repaired is more than the
cost of the fuse.
And then there is the labor and downtime and other
intangible expenses involved in blowing a port.

The prices are lower if you buy from one of my
distributors.� I don't encourage anyone to buy off my
ecommerce site and pay full list price.� That site is only
there to generate sales for distributors.

All of my products have prices based on cost plus margin. 
Same formula across the board pretty much.� I try to have

unique products you can't get other places.��� If volume
increases on a product, I sometimes adjust the price down
due to the fact that my costs come down.� For example, if I
am buying 1000 surge protector PCBs, I may be paying $1 for
each.� But if I am only buying 100 of them it may be $2.50.

I recently adjusted the cost down on my 8 circuit tower
surge protector for exactly this reason. Volume picked up, I
worked on sourcing and buying and was able to drop the list
price considerably and still maintain my margins.

Hi Chuck,

Great to hear about the new product, the POE Fuse.

Question & critique.
When are these going to be available ?
We would like to see these priced a bit more aggressive...
(At the current pricing, the cost of fusing multiple ports
appears to be exceeding the cost of 'poe switch' it is
protecting ! )

I would like to ask Chuck if he would host a externally funded BBQ/BOF 
not AF, that would be pretty informal, so that we could all get some 
eyeball time with each other...   I like Utah cause it's driveable to so 
much of the US and excellent flights in for the rest and it could happen 
in a better month than when we are doing all our spring cleaning/fall 
prepping..   Totally understand it that's not in the cards, but if there 
was a chance, would like to propose something low-key..

Re: [AFMUG] POE Fuse ...

yes they are,   now,   It wasn't so great when they first got going... 
I told them they could keep a unit rather than the charge to repair it 
and ship it back with the an early unit.  Glad to see they are better.

I know, and I appreciate it.  Just want to be fair to Netonix.  They are 
reasonable in the charge to fix a blown port.

Plus shipping both ways and you better put another spare in your
inventory...   Repair service starts at $75-100 depending upon device.

& I was trying to make a case for your device!!

I think Netonix will fix a blown POE port for $25.

I look at as, if you have a short on a port Chuck costs the price of one
card, $20 and the netonix is a whole box, even if you RMA it...  Yes the
initial cost is steep, but the future cost/time is priceless...

Thanks for the reply...

I was looking at things more simply...
  To protect 10/12 ports we are talking about $200/$250 give or take
  Switch value may be in similar ball park

It would be nice to see these in more of the $10 range..

I completely understand the production qty run vs cost.

Maybe, just a suggestion, we (as a group) can commit to a 
per-purchase qty, if that will help in bring the cost down.

We have been shipping for months.
The cost of having a Netonix port repaired is more than the cost of the
fuse.
And then there is the labor and downtime and other intangible expenses
involved in blowing a port.

The prices are lower if you buy from one of my distributors.  I don't
encourage anyone to buy off my ecommerce site and pay full list 
price. That

site is only there to generate sales for distributors.

All of my products have prices based on cost plus margin.  Same formula
across the board pretty much.  I try to have unique products you 
can't get
other places.If volume increases on a product, I sometimes 
adjust the
price down due to the fact that my costs come down.  For example, if 
I am
buying 1000 surge protector PCBs, I may be paying $1 for each.  But 
if I am

only buying 100 of them it may be $2.50.

I recently adjusted the cost down on my 8 circuit tower surge 
protector for
exactly this reason.  Volume picked up, I worked on sourcing and 
buying and
was able to drop the list price considerably and still maintain my 
margins.

Hi Chuck,

Great to hear about the new product, the POE Fuse.

Question & critique.
   When are these going to be available ?
   We would like to see these priced a bit more aggressive...
   (At the current pricing, the cost of fusing multiple ports 
appears to be

exceeding the cost of 'poe switch' it is protecting ! )

Regards.
