[WISPA] strange mt issue
Hi All, OK, this is really strange. Picked up a new MT ide drive card and 4 port nic card to use as a backup router. Put the unit in the pc and it stops at loading E. OK, bad unit. Took it back to Spokane and Bob K. put that unit into a machine he'd been working on. Even worse problem for him. Hm. So in goes another chip to make sure that it's not a puter problem. THAT one now won't work either. It had been one he'd already been using. Use a new machine, load up a new ide chip for me. I saw him do it. Take that one home, put it in the pc, same thing! Loading E. Put it into another machine, won't work there either. Hook up a hard drive to the port, that won't boot. 4 machines and 4 hard drives later i still don't have a config that works! Put that ide chip in any pc and it kills the ide port. What the $%&# over? Anyone seen anything like this before? Bob tells me that nothing he puts in the machine that worked before I got there will work now either. Could that first machine of mine had some kind of bios virus that has now spread to all other boxes? The machine was my old mail server, a working pull used up till a few months ago. The next machine was my old mt router, a working pull sitting on the shelf for over a year (it had flaked out so I replaced the whole thing and tossed the chip). The next machine was my old web server (all three the same hardware bought at the same time as i recall). The last machine was an old windows server or something. Don't ever remember for sure. It has two scsi drives in it, that's the only thing that'll still boot. But only to the two scsi drives, nothing ide. Ideas thanks, marlon -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/
Re: [WISPA] Ohio-based Slane Telcom Acquires WISPs to Satisfy Consumer Demand
They tried to buy my company. I wasn't trying to sell so I didn't try too hard! I think I may have been their first try. The offer was really low. They paid a lot more for a lot less on their next acquisition. If I knew they were going to setup in Arizona, I would have played it a lot differently !!

I've attached the WISPA comments. PLEASE read them and file comments of your own. On your filing it should be on company letterhead. State that you support the WISPA stance and add any other comments you may have. Guys, this is REALLY important! There is quite a bit of spectrum on the block, it's all sub ghz and in most of the country it's totally unused as soon as the DTV transition is done. Here is the latest WISPA filing. Make sure you do yours too! http://www.wispa.org/?page_id=18 Do you want to be able to build 40 mile cells? You need this. Want to be able to build systems in the middle of the forests your subs live in? You need this. Want a system that's designed to automatically coordinate with other users in your area? Tell the FCC that! You've all seen the discussions on this issue over the years. It's not going away. This band WILL be allocated to someone. Probably unlicensed but that's not set in stone by any means! There are those working to add requirements that will kill the band from a practical standpoint. You HAVE to file on this, even if it's just to say that you support the WISPA filing. To file go to this link and put 04-186 in the top left box: http://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/prod/ecfs/upload_v2.cgi Just fill in the blanks, then go down to the next level and attach your comments. Select the type of document (PDF, word etc.) and submit it. This is very simple to do and the VOLUME of filings matters too.

[WISPA] Fw: [isp-wireless] TV Whitespaces filings
fyi I've cc'd this to the part-15 list too.

I'm running the following today: FCC White Space Proceeding: What's at Stake The FCC has spectrum to allocate, and that means big money will talk, but there's a chance that the WISP industry can get some of the additional unlicensed spectrum it wants and needs. http://www.isp-planet.com/fixed_wireless/politics/2007/tv_whitespace_spectru m.html Action Item for WISPs: File With the FCC for More Unlicensed Spectrum WISPs need more unlicensed spectrum, but so far barely a dozen have filed comments with the FCC arguing in favor of it. If WISPs fail to act, the usual monopolies will set the rules, again. http://www.isp-planet.com/fixed_wireless/politics/2007/tv_whitespace_spectru m_action.html -Original Message- From: Marlon K.

[WISPA] tv whitespaces filings
Good grief guys, there are only 12 new filings in the last week or so!! Why, in the name of God, would the FCC give a rats behind about our industry if we can't be bothered to talk to them? Listen, the new rules get made according to the WRITTEN record! Our trips to the FCC are great and we both learn a lot, but when it comes time to make regulations they go to the paperwork that's been filed! EVERYONE here needs to file personally. Here's my confirmation :'2007223682035 Just go to this link: http://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/prod/ecfs/upload_v2.cgi Put 04-186 in the top left box and follow the instructions to voice your opinions on what the FCC should do with the soon to be opened up tv bands! All you have to do is till them to make the bands unlicensed, no auctions, no registration etc. Say more if you want, but we really need to drive home the unlicensed idea. Get off your hind ends guys! Marlon (509) 982-2181 Equipment sales (408) 907-6910 (Vonage)Consulting services 42846865 (icq)And I run my own wisp!

[WISPA] 900 interference- Licensed operation on 902-928
I am passing on a list of known Amateur Radio repeaters in the 902-928 band. If you want to be a good RF citizen and avoid interference it would be a good idea to consult this list and coordinate operation with them if you share an area. They will usually also know where other sources of interference may be. This list is given with the understand that you will use it in a constructive way, and to ensure that you are informed as to any activity out there. Remember: They are licensed- you are not. Their license (call sign) is right on the list. As an extra benefit, though, these people are anxious to work with radio technology and may already be trying to figure out what interference they are seeing may be. They have the same problems as you do with cordless phones, illegal video senders and whatnot. Some of them may be excellent resources (or potential future employees) There may also be licensed Amateur television in the same spectrum, mostly in California though. If there is an interest I can attempt to compile a list of that as well. The good word here is COORDINATE with your neighbors. Repeating for good measure: The good word here is COORDINATE with your neighbors. The URL (which should be on your favorites if you deploy 900) is http://www.ohioaprs.net/ar902/ Yes- I have one on the list.

[WISPA] 900 interference- Filters
I have a friend who builds custom filters and has built them for the market as well as NASA. I've asked him for details on anything he sells for passing 902-928 and also protecting (notching) from specific ranges like 929. -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/
[WISPA] 900 Interference- Pagers
By the way- on 2 way pagers, the portable pager device (usually 1 watt) transmits on 901 or so. Any place you have Skytel or any other 2 way you will need to make sure that YOU don't interfere with them on 901. Otherwise the shoe is on the other foot- you are out of band and they are licensed. This would mean being cognizant of where their receive antennas are and keeping your low-end 900 antennas well away from them. Of course the do have good filters because they sometimes combine antennas, but of course at that point, they are interested in filtering mostly their own 929-931 transmitters out and not 902.928. -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/
