Re: [WISPA] Telescoping Mast
We just flipped from booking an install to doing site surveys. Even when checking google earth and radio mobile approximately 50% of installs booked would fail due to foliage being in the way. We can have over 1 hour drive time to get to some of these locations. For us its much more sensible to drive out to that area and do a few surveys then book the for sure installs.

Re: [WISPA] Telescoping Mast
We have our coverage maps tuned in pretty good. We get one every now and then that we can't hit. Most of those are the guy at the edge on the map and we go out anyway. I give the installer $25 for a nogo. He fills out our online nogo form with GPS info and we use those to scope out new repeater locations. When we get several in the same area, we start looking for a high spot to throw up a repeater. Our topology makes it pretty tough. Our hills are 300-800' and the trees are 70-80'. If your not going up a hill then your going down one. We have to hit hill top to hill top and shoot down through the hollers. There is no getting surprised with trees. We know they are there and in the wrong place every time;-) We usually schedule questionable sites in the late afternoon. If they take off early and we can't hit them, so sad but not much I can do about that. Very few things in life are for sure. Normally they don't get mad they just start begging for a tower or miracle to get them service.

Oh yeah and it needs to be cheap too. I want to start using something like this for our site surveys because it would be much easier than getting out the telescoping pole we use and having someone hold it steady with a radio on it.

Re: [WISPA] Telescoping Mast
Dude! I showed ya once. The Nuclear Torpedo Wilbert Mast Pain in the A** (WISPA RULES PREVAIL) Site surveys always a BS thing. What I do is make the link calculations, print out the path THEN go to the site and see the big mass of trees right in the path. Walk around on the roof or hang off their antenna tower. Sucks. But you ROCK dude! Well done. - The son I never had But never wanted either. It's a thing,... you Illegitimate child of not mine!
