Re: [AFMUG] Looking for waveguide parts

You need a circular waveguide to N connector transition (assuming you want to feed with coax). The waveguide need to taper to the bottom of the horn. -Original Message- From: George Skorup Sent: Tuesday, April 24, 2018 12:54 PM To: af@afmug.com ; memb...@wispa.org Subject: [AFMUG]

Re: [AFMUG] Looking for waveguide parts

Looks like we'll be able to get a pair of original Western Electric's. They're WR-159 flanges, so we'll either need a 159 to 137 transition, or 159 and 137 to type N adapters and coax in between. I'd prefer to find some transitions and avoid the coax. On 4/24/2018 3:18 PM, ch...@wbmfg.com

Re: [AFMUG] USF

We're digressing quite a bit here, but at the end of the day the government skims money from one part of the economy and injects it into another part of the economy and colloquially we call that a "Tax". Let politicians spin it however they want. Calling it "Mandatory Contribution" is just

Re: [AFMUG] USF

Not sure where you are getting that from Words are important, because they mean something. USF is defined as a 'Mandatory Contribution' (obligation on Telco/Carriers/ISP's) to the USAC Fund, mandated/ managed by the FCC. It is not defined as a TAX.

My current issue is, we own transport, we buy big DIA. We also transport to others and we give them access to/sell DIA. They sell ISP service to end users. We need to keep ourselves square with USAC, so we either have to “charge” the commercial customer (elect to recover) USF or they have to

Not huge if you consider most of the main lobes are that wide or wider, so just as long as you can get it close enough to tweak with signal levels, that is all you need. If you are thinking of a set it and forget it, a tenth of a degree would be needed for that. Depending on frequency and

[AFMUG] FCC USF and 499 Filing

So now I'm digging to this more to make sure I'm on the right track. ALL broadband/internet ISP providers are now classified Telecommunications providers and must file FCC 499a or 499q and pay USF if not de-minimus? Is this where we all stand now?

Ok, sorry, so I've been extremely busy this year and missed the fact that the FCC once again re-classified us in January 2018 as a Service Provider instead of a Telecommunications Provider. Therefor exempting us from filing 499A/Q and having to pay into the FUSF fund if we are only providing

Point to point Ethernet over fiber should not have to be charged for USF. But if you receive DIA/backbone over it it then qualifies? But if you charge your customers for USF then the DIA circuit should not be charged. Do I have this correct?

No ! Before we discuss this... You need to specify what perspective you are asking the question from ? Are you the Buyer ? or are you the Seller ? Are you Contributing to USF Fund directly to the FCC or are you a deminius entity ? No One is allowed under the Law to "Charge" USF. Only

Not going to discuss semantics here Faisal. Just mechanics. Someone pays. Somebody files 499s. Someone is on record with USAC. The FCC has defined all internet traffic as interstate and a source of USF contributions. It was not always like this. If you file a 499 worksheet with USAC or

That is rich. So a telecom is not allowed to charge for USF, but they can charge a USF recovery fee. I fail to see the difference here. Sort of like Apple's "Overseas profits" of ~~ $225 billion. It was not actually "overseas", it was actually held here in the USA, but was merely labeled
