Here's a link to the FCC Fact Sheet on Placement of Antennas: http://www.fcc.gov/mb/facts/otard.html The antenna type appears to be covered by the rule but then subsequently excluded in the question on 'fixed wireless signals'. In the past I've provided my association with a copy of the FAQ and

Fellow time-nuts! I have been making some measurements on the HP5359A using the DTS2070C. I am adjusting the period and measure that. Initially it is apparent that the HP5359A does not hit the mark, but it is also clear that the CAL button does indeed make a difference. It is also very

If you have purchased, leased or rented property and there were CCR's included in the transaction and in those CCR's is buried a prohibition on outside antennas, you are out of luck. You entered into a contract and the CCR's are a part of that contract. In fact, the FCC has stated that in the case

Hi Ronald: Some people interested in the WAAS aspect of GPS have used the common Ku band satellite TV dishes as reflectors and mounted a GPS antenna at the focus (where the Ku band antenna would normally be located. The claim is that it works well even though the polarity of the reflected GPS

I was just reminded by James Maynard that through my CDMA input to the Endrun Precis Cf unit, I should be within 10 microsecond of UTC using GPS indirectly. How much more accurate over time would the GPSDO option be for me, assuming I have a strong and steady enough signal?

Hi Ronald, Here are 3 Hewlett Packard appnotes that are in the same vain as the NBS 140 booklet. In many ways these HP items are better written. The first one was written in 1961. The second one is an update (1974), as is the third (1976). Each are different and equally worth having on the
