Bob,

Was hoping you would pipe in.  Well there you have it!  This is the way that
I will go.
Do you have a ball park figure of what this might cost?

Here is a pic of the tower: www.stlbroadband.com/h2o.html

Thanks!

Re: [WISPA] Stand offs for a water tower question...

V-

CSW is the way to go.

 In my book magnets on an elevated structure is just a bad idea. I know we have 
expelled a ton of bandwidth in the past on this subject but I would look at how 
it would reflect in court if I had an issue. 

I would not put anything on a tank I could not repel (descend) from. Do it and 
do it right. Don't take chances and don't reinvent the wheel.

You can purchase heavy duty tank tripods from Site Pro 1 (www.sitepro1.com) and 
get someone to install them for ya.

I am sure the water authority's engineering staff would also approve the CSW 
mwthod faster.

Good luck

Re: [WISPA] Stand offs for a water tower question...

2008-11-08 Thread Josh Luthman 
Magnets don't lose their magnetism unless heated to very high
temperatures.  In warm temperatures (achievable at the top of a water
tower) it may lose a little bit, but it returns to normal once it is
cooled.

Re: [WISPA] Stand offs for a water tower question...

2008-11-08 Thread Brian Rohrbacher 
Do a little reading on rare earth magnets (the strongest magnet there 
is).  You might be able to do some calculations and figure out what you 
would to build your own.
Here are a couple sites I just googled.  I think all you need to do is 
figure out how much pull force you need to offset the wind load.

[WISPA] Stand offs for a water tower question...

2008-11-08 Thread St. Louis Broadband 
I have two water towers that will need 4 to 5 antenna mounts. The water
towers are both the same. They are approximately 120' with a climbing tube
and a bulb at the top. There are no side rails. The hatch opens to the bulb.
How do you attach antennas??? Is welding standoffs the best practice?  Any
ideas on basic costs?

Here is a pic of one of the towers: http://stlbroadband.com/h20.html

Also this was a method mentioned on another thread:
http://www.metal-cable.com/page13.html
These guys are nice but $3k apiece.  I am thinking that if you went that
route that you could get three for each tower and ad a mounting pipe between
each creating a triangle and mount to that.  I am not sure how long they
would maintain their power for this application, but if you had to move your
network these come along versus a welded situation.

Thanks,
Victoria

Re: [WISPA] OT election results

2008-11-08 Thread Marlon K. Schafer 
Um, What is the charter for this list  I can't find it.

I originally asked what people thought the election would do to their 
businesses.  This is very much a valid topic for this list.

I agree with Tom.  Wa. state is a very expensive state to operate in.  We 
get taxed if we make money, we get taxed if we don't.

I'll not even get into the issues with Wa. being specifically exempted from 
the federal no taxes on the internet problems.
