RE: [WISPA] Marlon and WISPA
Marlon Rocks!!! :-) _ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Forbes Mercy Sent: Thursday, February 15, 2007 1:31 AM To: WISPA General List Subject: [WISPA] Marlon and WISPA I just wanted to let the list know that Marlon from Odessa, WA came down today, a two and a half hour drive (too foggy for me to fly up and get him) and taught my new installers how to properly do couplings on coax and cat 5 plus helped us move two tower antennas. He did this for considerably less pay then anyone else but wanted to help another WISPA member. Every day I get more value out of belonging to this group, from Form 455 to this amazing generosity, all he asked was that if they have an emergency that taxed his resources could I help back. I'm a retired Fire Chief and it's so refreshing to hear someone in the Private Sector have the same approach as the Fire Service has for loaning each others assets when things get crazy. It's a testimony to the strength of our membership and the friendships that happen because of it. This has reinvigoraged me for this stressful business because when you feel your alone and the only one truly motivated for success then someone comes along that is the same its nice to have someone to talk to who can relate on our level. One note to Marlon, I know you saw me do some things that would make for good fodder on here but be warned I will fire back with my own.. lol! What a great friend and fellow WISP I have found with Marlon, bravo to all of you for doing what so many independent business owners never seem to do, get a long for the common good.

Re: [WISPA] Marlon and WISPA
Thanks for the kind words Forbes! How are the customers doing this am? Can you tell yet? I'd really like to know if all of the customers came back online on the system that we pulled the amp from. I'd also like to know (on here would be great) if the other customers can see any difference in their services after our cleanup work on the hill. And don't worry, I won't tell a sole about the forgotten keys, snakes or power tools! Mum's the word! cackle Anyhow, I'm finally up on the hill at Ephrata. The system that died yesterday wouldn't come back up with a power cycle so I had to drive down here far too early in the morn. The SB airpoint pro had to be factory reset and reprogrammed. Working like a champ now. Go figure. Take care and good luck on that tower you're putting on the air in the next day or so! This new one will work a lot better laters, marlon - Original Message - From: Forbes Mercy [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: WISPA General List wireless@wispa.org Sent: Wednesday, February 14, 2007 10:30 PM Subject: [WISPA] Marlon and WISPA I just wanted to let the list know that Marlon from Odessa, WA came down today, a two and a half hour drive (too foggy for me to fly up and get him) and taught my new installers how to properly do couplings on coax and cat 5 plus helped us move two tower antennas.
