Everyone remember that I sent out a Google Earth file of what should be most of the digital TV footprint in America after February. That is subject to change of course but it's close. You would use that tool to find available channels in your area. It works great because you can turn on the channel above and below your channel of interest (the adjacent channels). If when you turn on all three channels there are no contours in the market of interest, you have available spectrum!
Open the file in Google Earth, turn off the whole layer, expand the folder and turn them on one by one.

When, how much, and what will you do with it? Ladies and gents: I haven't read all of the published information yet, but this is the second greatest battle we have come across (second only to having unlicensed available in the first place) and we have won! Congrats. It appears the portable devices are held to 100 mw of power, while we have 4 watts (which is pretty much what we have everywhere else). Four watts at these frequencies will carry! Who cares what Sprint, Verizon, AT&T, etc. are doing in the wireless world when we have unlicensed frequencies at an acceptable power and lower in frequency? ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- WISPA Wants You!
