You gotta learn to read carefully. Part-15's site says that Part 15 AND REDLINE and part-90 (defunct) are teaming up to create a manual to teach WISP's everything they need to know in order to get licensed for 3650. I dunno if you're aware of it or not, but REdline already has P2P and P2MP equipment that is 3650 capable. With this slant - Redline being a sponsor, that is - it casts a whole new light on the notion of who is teaching what about what. I suspect it has something to do with teaching licensing procedures and protocol, and about the use of Redline's equipment. Perhaps Redline is doing some kind of cooperative effort for testing 3650 equipment. > > -John (kd8bqx) > > PS - any chance I could convince folks to trim their responses?
