Don't register gear operating in 5725-5850. Only register gear
operating in 5470-5725.

So regarding 3 - register everything in the 5Ghz band?

Josh,
There is clear value to the WISP industry if you register
your base station locations because -
1. There is a serious interference problem to TDWRs. The FAA
desperately wants to end this problem.
2. The FAA is pressuring the FCC to take action to end the
problem.
3. The current "solution" is to ask WISPs to register their
(base) station locations in the database. Doing so gives the
FCC a visible sign to point to and to show the FAA that the
problem is being resolved because, in theory, having base
stations (or both ends of a point-to-point link) registered
allows the FAA/FCC direction-finding enforcement teams to
quickly rule out registered WISPs as the source of a
problem, thus making their job of finding the actual
interference source that much quicker.
So even if you are staying clear of a TDWR frequency,
registering still helps to show the FAA and FCC that the
WISP industry is cooperating in the effort to end the TDWR
interference problem.

Jack,
That is clear and I am practicing that. My concern
was the database.
Would it help to know I have nothing near those
frequencies? Is it only for people operating 30-100
Mhz within a TDWR? I guess I just miss the point of
the website. If operators stay away from the "bad"
frequencies what's the point of the website?

Josh,
The band is 5470 to 5725. This includes the
5600-5650 part that the TDWRs use.
If you are within 30 km of a TDWR, you should
stay at least 30 MHz away from it (below and
above). For example, if the TDWR is at 5610 then
you should exclude 5580 to 5640. If you are
further away but within line-of-sight of the
TDWR (like on a high mountain) you should also
stay 30 MHz away.
