Re: [WISPA] USAF Request - Read this is you want to keep using 5630-5800 Mhz
Yes it really is that easy. Welcome to the New World Order. The Government owns the spectrum and we only get to use it if they feel like letting us. End of story. In WW2 they shut down Ham radio for security even though today it is accepted that hams are Helping the Government in emergencies. They don't need us, our customers do. So, its that easy? Local AF guy makes a request whether reasonable or not, and thats the way it is? I understand moving off the 5765Mhz and having guard space on either side maybe 20Mhz, but they want the whole band to stop being used whether its even in the radar LOS or not, which is an unreasonable request, IMO. This meeting of the minds will apparently happen this coming Wednesday here locally. Anyone have anything to add, other than good luck?

Re: [WISPA] Solat panels: series or parallel?
5 amps is a pretty hefty load. Try to cut that down by combining radios to one power supply or eliminate unnecessary stuff. Remember the solar charge time in winter is only from 10 AM to 2 PM the rest of the day the charge is much less. You are burning 1/3 of the charging in the load, not much is left for battery charging. Up here I run a small generator 2 hours twice a day at about what your panels are rated at.

Re: [WISPA] Cordless Phone Ring Interference
No, actually the ringing is generated by the handset from the power in its battery. The command to ring is just a series of 1's and 0's sent from the base unit to instruct the handset to ring.

Re: [WISPA] Cordless Phone Ring Interference
The ringing current from the Telco to the base unit is 120 cycles per second AC. It would be more like AC hum on a sound system. I would bet the 2.4 phone system is using most if not all the band at pretty low power. Probably it is the wake up and setup for a call that is knocking out the ISP not the ringing its self.

Re: [WISPA] Cordless Phone Ring Interference
Yeah, I am sure there is a huge amount of data transferred in the wake up command. The handsets go into a sleep mode to give max battery life. The ring command is probably just all 0's or all 1's like the old frame relay connections use to tell the other end to loop back. The actual talk data is only 32k or so both ways 1/2 duplex. Multi line phones would need to get a lot of info from the base about what is about to happen, what lights to lite up etc. I have looked at cordless phones on a spectrum analyzer and the are way Spread spectrum, not really a channelized thing. No big power spike but a very low and wide waveform. Definitly go for the DECT. On 12/27/2011 6:15 PM, Josh Luthman wrote: What I'm getting at is what initiates the ring. The copper pair hits the base unit and then tells all the handsets in the house to ring. I'm suggesting that this is 2.4 and what causes the SM's problem.

Re: [WISPA] Cat3 instead of Cat5
Guys, The Category rating has to do with the number of twists per inch. The more twists the more the noise cancels out. Noise screws up Data. Noise usually comes from AC power somewhere.

And, should it ever reach the point we actually pinch the telcos or cablecos enough for them to get concerned, they will call in the favors and have us obliterated. Welcome to the new generation of thug politics in DC. Just look what's happening to broadcast industry, the insurance industry, etc.You exist to benefit our political aspirations. The moment you fail in that regard, you will be shredded, beaten, whipped, ruined, bankrupted and criminalized. Either you're a political ally, or you're toast. This administration has removed all semblances of public service and has officially made it federal policy to conduct political wars upon the people, businesses, enterprises, and even the states, if there is any political benefit to doing so. It is federal malevolence at the highest level ever seen before in this country. And it's getting worse by massive leaps and bounds. Even appointees to the FCC have made this clear, in demonstrating they believe in the direction and control of media and industry for the benefit of the political class. I argued years ago that surrendering our sovereignty to the feds was a recipe for industry disaster. So far, I've been called stupid, extreme, radical, idiotic, mindless, and a kook for thinking so. Trying being a health insurance company, doctor, investor, banker or any one of a number of recently demonized groups.The White House has decided it can control your prices, wages, services, products, and policies, if ANY public money passes to you or even if you just happen to be in an industry that gets political attention. Even if it just means a bailed out company did business with you. Or, your service is considered important or essential. They haven't gotten around to us yet, but we're in the crosshairs. After all, we're in business to make a profit, and anyone making a profit needs to be slapped down and destroyed.We should have stood for our independence, instead of lusting after public money, but no, principle is foolish, and money is all that matters, I was told. Well, you got what you wanted. And I'm still around to say I told you so. The pursuit of favors, public money, loans, grants... That was just too enticing, wasn't it? The country's going to hell in a handbasket financially, because everyone's holding their hand out waiting for someone else's money to flow their way, courtesy of politicians.And lots of the leadership of WISPA was arguing and holding out the promise of getting someone else's money for the industry. Well, ALL of you, and ALL of the same greedy mentalities all through our industry and nation have set the situation up that it's all come home to roost, and the taxpayers are... well, paying for it. Unemployment, ruined retirements, bankruptcy, and so on. You should have stood on principle, not on greed.Best never invite me to an industry gathering or I'll tell you what I really think. It would not be pretty. I haven't read this list in months, been busy. But nothing has changed. We've still got WISPA leadership promoting the lusting after public money. Damn you for your immorality.The consequences are all around us, the people have suffered greatly because of that kind of thinking... And you're STILL DOING IT??? I don't want to hear they're going to give it anyway, might as well get your share. Hell no.We should put our country first, and the lust for easy someone else's money given the boot.But we've been sold out to the FCC by former leadership urging the FCC to regulate and mandate stuff on our part for them. In return, of course, for vague hints something might come our way. Shame on every one of you who took, is trying to get, or even thinking of trying to get your hands on someone else's money.It wasn't just a political matter after all. It was moral, too.

Re: [WISPA] Metered Billing
Just a side note, the water meters were installed by mandate of the DEQ (Government Agency) They fixed it so the Utilities could not borrow money or apply for grants if they were not metered. With the way our politics are going right now it may not be long before there is a Gov Agency making rules about the Internet. (Read FCC). Travis Johnson wrote: It's been that way for 20+ years in this community (100+ homes). I don't see it changing any time soon. And just like internet, there are heavy water users (neighbors I see with their sprinklers running almost 24 hours per day) and normal users (like me) and light users (the yellow dead grass is the giveaway). You take the average of all and divide the expenses. Is it fair? Probably not. Is it worth installing $1,000 meters on every household in the community? probably not... because then you have to hire a person to check all the meters once a month... and any savings you may have had are gone by paying a salary to a meter reader.

Then you get to deal with the phone calls from users that say My computer wasn't even turned on during those times. Remove the charge or I will go elsewhere. So, even that one extra phone call costs you money (because you have to think about scaling). Imagine if you have 100x the number of customers you have now... does the same solution work? Probably not. The easier solution would be to call that customer and get them to upgrade to the next plan up (which would provide higher speed as well).

Re: [WISPA] Mountain Top Grounding
All of my sites are like that. Your real ground is the Power company neutral. They pound a rod at every meter, transformer, and splice box. Each pole also has a copper plate on the bottom with the weight of the pole on it. All the way back to Hoover Dam. Drive the ground rods at a little bit of an angle, drive lots of them, one at each Tower leg and each corner of the building. Connect them all together in a circle (Halo.) Try to route the #4 copper ground wire inside the building so it is hard to steal. Cad weld it if you can. Use a rod driver, looks like a fence post driver, if one only goes 1/2 way use it anyway. Cut it off and sharpen the end with a grinder and drive the other half. The tower set in concrete is also ground, connect it in the Halo along with every conduit that is nearby. Ground is ground the world around. D. Ryan Spott wrote: I have a site I am putting in on a mountain-top consisting of stacked rocks.

I had insurance from Hartford once. Had a bad couple of months and paid the premium late. They canceled me and said they do not insure ISP's or for that matter an Internet anything company. I tried again a year later and they said the same thing No Internet company. Many on this list have Hartford Ins. so that is just a plain lie, they do not want my business and don't have the hair to say so. The point is you can pay the premiums for years and still get dumped or just plain refused renewal. Insurance is pretty much Government mandated Organized Crime. With the modern Business world Lawyers and Insurance are a symbiotic relationship. You can't have one without the other. chris cooper wrote: We use Hartford. They've been great. Decent deductible, they pay claims without complaint, no premium increase. WISPA Wants You!

Re: [WISPA] harmful RFI from ethernet to HAM RADIO?
I went through this issue with a ham repeater at a mountain top tower. The repeater would key up and never let go as it saw some signal it thought was a user. I was in a metal cargo container and the repeater was in a frame building 20 feet away. I could turn off the ethernet switch and the interference would go away. I could leave the switch powered up and remove all the cat 5 cables to it and the interference would go away. It appears the ethernet switch was mixing several RF sources and emitting a sum or difference of the two (or more). I tried Ferrite rings on all cat 5 cables, shielded cable etc. Nothing really worked that well. Finally I moved 100' away to a different building on a different tower and no one is complaining now. Spacial separation seems to have fixed it.

We are trying to locate the source of noise on an amateur radio repeater system locally and last time I went up on grain leg there was a whole lot of Ethernet cabling strung everywhere and I've read some links such as these. http://www.hamuniverse.com/linksys.html that apparently some brands of equipment give out much more spurious emissions than others. Also how did you work with the radio people to solve it? Seems to only be apparent in the VHF band. Kurt Fankhauser WAVELINC P.O.

Re: [WISPA] Malicious damage to a tower
It would be different story if YOU damaged some Cop's antenna. You would be eating TV dinners in an orange jump suit for a long time. Forbes Mercy wrote: Two solar panels were stolen from one of my towers two years ago and the police only wanted to take a report, when I reminded them that this was a public communications facility and thereby a federal offense, they said I don't think the Internet is a public broadcast facility but 'drove by' anyway. Never got a good answer and was never contacted by feds so my guess is no, but its just a guess. Forbes WISPA Wants You!

Re: [WISPA] Aerial / Self-Support Cat5
Be careful. If you go building to building with different power transformers, or even different meters, you can get current flow over the grounded messenger and or the shield in the cat 5. You may want to only ground at one end but the potential voltage will still be there at the other end and could be a shock hazard. D. Ryan Spott wrote: WOW!

Re: [WISPA] Aerial / Self-Support Cat5
I thought you were talking about that but the other guy was talking pole to building so I brought that up. D.
