Re: [WISPA] [WISPA Members] 2010 WISPA Board Elections
Good Morning Everyone, I will need to agree whole heartedly with Matt here. I would like to add some history and evolution of WISPA to put things in perspective. WISPA was started when John Scrivner, Matt Larsen, Marlon Shafer and others became frustrated with the paid management of Part-15.org. Over the course of the next 7-8 months, the Founding Board worked late in to the night many nights each week, to put together the WISPA bylaws and birth our new trade association. We obviously wrote the bylaws to avoid what we perceived to be the evils that could possibly destroy our industry and trade association. It was important to us to avoid paid Board members and enforce the volunteer grassroots effort we were putting together. We all donated financially as well as through our efforts to pay our attorney and accountant to file our bylaws and Not-For-Profit Trade Association status. Those early days were tough. We were battling Part-15 for recognition and members. We banked nearly all our dues and created a community for our industry that we felt would be attractive to new and old WISPs. It was important to us to create this community to create a sense of companionship and ownership for each WISP, whether a member or not. At that time, there was a lack of understanding in Washington DC as to what a WISP was, what we did and who we served. It was important at that time to make trips to Washington to educate the FCC and Congress about our industry. I would like to give credit to Marlon as he planned and managed many of those early trips. Over the next five years, Broadband has changed from a privilege to a necessity. The Government began to fall behind other nations in Broadband adoption, infrastructure and pricing. It seems that only in the last 2-3 years has Broadband all the sudden become a priority at the Government level. When that recognition was made, the flood gates opened at the FCC. Studies were done, NPRMs and NOI's were issued at an alarmingly rapid pace. In a way, WISPA's grassroots and tight purse strings attitude now would allow us to go to work for our members and respond to all the FCC and Congressional inquiries and rule makings. It was also at this time that Jack Unger took the helm of the FCC committee and Rini Coran was hired as our Washington based legal representation. These two gentlemen have done a fabulous job in my opinion keeping their eyes open and ears in tune with the rapidly changing events. The work effort of the FCC Chairman probably increased 10x over what was needed previously. It became obvious to Jack and to the rest of the Board that this position was outgrowing the volunteer effort we once perceived. WISPA was maturing and the Board needed to adapt or get out of the way. While WISPA is still a small trade association and our members and non-members serve often sparsely populated areas, we knew we needed to conserve our funds and decided that there were few people qualified for the FCC Committee Chair role like Jack was. He was semi-retired (had time), had been a WISP (one of the very first), had written a book about the industry and had a background in technical writing and FCC Doctrine. His willingness to volunteer 25 hours/month of Board time is commendable given the many hours he now receives payment for as the FCC Chair. WISPA has a treasure in Jack Unger and it is this treasure that we need to take care of carefully. I will regret the time when Jack moves on. His leadership has brought great respect to WISPA nationally, amongst other lobbying trade associations, corporate America and our Government institutions. Jack is my hero! Any leadership position will invoke criticism. Jack has a great temperament to roll with the punches and stay the course for what he, the majority of the FCC Committee and our legal counsel deem as important agendas to pursue. In reality, these petty arguments about Board pay are a growing pain which we need to get past. As I said earlier, WISPA has matured and is continuing to evolve. We have seen the benefits of spending our dues wisely on paid representation. Our NOI and NPRM responses have been very professional the last two years under Jack and Steve's guidance. They are noticed and commented on by other trade associations. Other trade associations are reaching out to WISPA to join forces and create joint filings. It was not this way a few years ago, when our few filings were pretty much ignored and deemed irrelative. Most successful trade associations in the communications industry are much bigger than WISPA. Their dues are much higher and they pay full staffs and legal teams to do this work. They are often our competition and sometimes our allies depending on the specific topic at hand. WISPA will need to get over our insistence of being a volunteer effort. We need to continue to mature if we want to succeed long term. The old phrase, You get what you pay for is now a

Re: [WISPA] Polyphaser's on Canopy
I hear ya Kurt. Not sure about the 900mhz part. In my mind the problem isn't only the moisture, it's also the corrosion that comes with it. 900 handles water better than 2.4 or 5 gig does, very true. But a corroded connector isn't going to work as well as a clean one. And it's not like the old VHF days when we had tens or hundreds of watts to play with and only voice, that no one expected to sound perfectly, to transport. Me? I just don't buy devices that I can't weather seal. I tell manufactures that all of the time. I don't care if you can give me a $5.00 radio that will deliver 200mbps to home users at 50 miles on the other side of a mountain, if I can't make it reliable I just can't use it these days. Internet is no longer a toy used for sending the occasional email and downloading one's favorite songs. I've tried silicone in a situation like that but there is something inside it that will actually speed up the corrosion inside the connector. So far the best thing I've found is to take the offending device to a machine shop and modify it. And/or use jumpers so you've got more room to work with.

Re: [WISPA] Digital Loggers script

Something along the lines of:

Examples:

192.168.0.100:80 admin:1234 status
192.168.0.100:80 admin:1234 *off

Re: [WISPA] Polyphaser's on Canopy
I really have to agree with Marlon. We used mastic, but abandoned it after finding a better method. Our approach: From the Bottom: Liberal coating of Scotchkote Electrical Coating (no 14853) on all surfaces and especially between the joints. Layer of Scotch Rubber Splicing tape No 23. Stretch this to 1/2 thickness as you apply. Always rap from the bottom up (like you roof a house). Slightly light coat of Scotchkote Electrical Coating (no 14853) on all surfaces and especially between the joints. Layer of Scotch Rubber Splicing tape No 23. Stretch this to 1/2 thickness as you apply. Always rap from the bottom up (like you roof a house). Layer of cheep electrical tape to protect if from UV rays.

Re: [WISPA] NS2 Ethernet issue
I have a box full of them that have the same issue. Ben told me to use shielded cable for client installs. Not that I haven't had a MT get hit a time or 2 but it seems every time I see a cloud in the sky I loose an ns2. Hopefully they'll get this fixed but for now I'm sticking with the $130 MT CPE over the ns2. Jim On 7/14/2010 5:04 PM, Josh Luthman wrote: I had that a week or two ago.

Re: [WISPA] NS2 Ethernet issue
Those that we have had the Ethernet go dead, but the wireless still works, we replace the Ethernet chip on and they work fine. Since using shielded CAT5E, we have not lost any radios that had shielded cable and a Ubiquti PoE supply. If we lose one and it has unshielded wire, then we replace the wire with shielded wire and the radio with a repaired radio (or a new radio if we do not currently have a repaired radio).

Re: [WISPA] NS2 Ethernet issue
I'm in the Amazon and we have very intense lightning. We've never had a direct strike but we get very very close nearby strikes which induce high voltages into anything that can act like an antenna. We're running PS2's, NSM5's and a BulletM2. We lost some gear connected to the PS2's (though never a PS2 itself) before I isolated the PS2's from their mounts. The PS2's electronics have continuity to the mounting bracket. The gear was on a metal mount on a metal roof of a wooden house (roof not grounded) and the PS2 and it's associated ethernet cable were acting like a drain for the roof, zapping what was on the other end when ever lightning induced high voltage in the roof. Now I keep the PS2's isolated from their mount (with a piece of plastic tubing between the mount and PS2's bracket) and I have ethernet lightning protection at the POE end. The NS5M's and the Bullet have been no problem. Greg On Jul 14, 2010, at 8:30 PM, Nick Olsen wrote: I've noticed that the NSM2's do better then the NS2's.

We've never had a direct strike but we get very very close nearby strikes which induce high voltages into anything that can act like an antenna. We're running PS2's, NSM5's and a BulletM2. We lost some gear connected to the PS2's (though never a PS2 itself) before I isolated the PS2's from their mounts. The PS2's electronics have continuity to the mounting bracket. The gear was on a metal mount on a metal roof of a wooden house (roof not grounded) and the PS2 and it's associated ethernet cable were acting like a drain for the roof, zapping what was on the other end when ever lightning induced high voltage in the roof. Now I keep the PS2's isolated from their mount (with a piece of plastic tubing between the mount and PS2's bracket) and I have ethernet lightning protection at the POE end.

[WISPA] Thinking about a new job?
Well, it is finalized. My main competition, and backbone supplier, has received round 2 BIP funding: http://www.lightwaveonline.com/fttx/news/Round-2-of-broadband-stimulus-kicks-of-with-more-fiber-funding-97678969.html Look for Twin Lakes telephone. About 6 months ago, my 2nd biggest competitor got it: http://www.nctc.com/version_3.0/StimBlog/BBStimulus.html Look at January 25, 2010. Now for the RANT! In round 2 BIP, no other competitor could apply against a provider that was already receiving USDA funding. WTF is this deal? The USDA and FCC(with the rural exemption act)has provided Twin Lakes Telephone a protected telephone coverage area for over 50 years! Now they just handed them a monopoly on Internet service in my area? I give up?! WTF else can I do? The Obama-n-screw-u administration has screwed yet another business death coffin. Not only has it screwed us on our wireless ISP, but it has screwed the cable company and many satellite providers in the area. Do not think for a second that companies getting funding for FTTH, will not also be offering TV! Being as remote as we are, we have many, many satellite customers in the area. I preached this same blog to the USDA before they funded our competitor. Did not help a bit. I just pray for the rest of you guys that you do not have to go against this. I am sure they would have eventually done it anyway, but I would hope that it would have not been competition against my own money that I had paid in on taxes.

Gonna try to talk them out of it cause like everyone else said, tape sucks. Ran REV drives for awhile and had great luck with them but even those are outdated now. Thanks for all the feedback. Love the BlacX option - didn't know that existed! -Original Message- From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On Behalf Of Marlon K.

Prefer something SCSI to replace existing tape drive that has failed. I just personally hate tape. Thanks! WISPA Wants You!
