[AFMUG] WTB - epmp 1000 2.4ghz AP with GPS

[lists gogebicrange . net]

Does anyone have any epmp 1000 2.4 AP's with GPS sitting around? We still have 
some in service and I don't have any spares on the shelf.

You can email me at bran...@gogebicrange.net 
if you do.

Thanks,
Brandon

The 450m 3ghz ignores any power on the port so it is perfectly safe to provide 
PoE+sync to the radio.   The power needs to be there to ensure reliable 
transmission of the sync signal.

So yes,  use that board,  provide either +48v or -48V on that port, and the 
radio will be perfectly happy to get sync from the ethernet port while getting 
its power from the power port.

When working with the 450m 3ghz AP’s , powering with DC and carrying data on 
ethernet. How does one provide sync from a Packetflux RackInjector? I assume 
that you just provide it with the most modern card they are offering (Power 
Injection for Cambium Sync Board) by sending the POE + sync up the ethernet 
data cable that is already in use. BUT I don’t want to send a POE up that cable 
since the 3ghz wont power over ethernet and the unit is already DC powered 
without asking.

Is anyone using Packetflux RackInjector to provide the sync on the 3ghz APs 
with this configuration?

Thank,
Brandon

Re: [AFMUG] FCC Proposes $62 Million penalty against Q Link Wireless for violation of EBB program rules

Forest,
I agree with your idea. The main problem is that we have lobbyists in this 
country and there is way to much money to be made building subsidized 
proprietary fiber. Wow I am sinical in my middle age!

Not exactly the same type of subsidy program, but I'm starting to belive that 
the government needs to migrate almost all of the build out subsidies to put 
equal access fiber in the ground.  That is,  the subsidy is only for the fiber 
build.

 Single strand or two from each house to a concentrator box and then a 
excessive number of backhaul/middle mile strands.  Then any isp can use the 
resources that are built.  The price to use the resources must be effectively 
zero and rules must be in place to limit the percentage of middle mile strands 
that a single provider can use.

You get paid if you build to spec.   Once it's been independently verified that 
you built it then you get paid.   Not before.

Eliminates fraud and Eliminates the government subsidizing one provider which 
often eliminates the possibility of competition.  Makes it easy for a provider 
to enter an area (drop a OLT in a cabinet).

There are several countries (some rural) that adopted this pattern with good 
results.  Obviously the details would matter here,  but I'm tired of programs 
that have so many rules that only the big providers can really apply.  Or if 
you do win as a small provider the cost to operate inside the grant guidelines 
often make it not worth it.

Weird stuff to redact. Seems this should all be public info since it was the 
publics money. Monetary recompense is nice and all, but until we start 
executing owners in the town square, violently, every program will be scam 
full. Maybe we dont execute everybody, but we cut off their hands that were in 
the cookie jar and use images of their nubs to remind would be thieves that 
their ability to rub one out will be greatly diminished. Could even offset some 
of the pilfered funds through auctions of their fingers and various hand bones.

So many redactions, it’s like reading the Mueller

Re: [AFMUG] Solar panel ice/snow buildup

[lists gogebicrange . net]

Sean,
We have had a bear of a time getting out propane generator to start below 10 
degrees and defiantly below zero. What system are you using and does it start 
in the cold?  Everything I have found commercially available is setup for a 
grid tie with a small heater on the carb that runs on grid power.

Thanks,
Brandon

In addition to froth-pak, be sure to tilt them at [latitude] + 23.5.

We are at 40 north so we tilt the panels at about 65*

40 + 23.5 = 63.5*

At that angle when there’s any amount of direct sunlight it slides pretty quick.

But we also have a propane generator on-site because the stars don’t always 
align just right :-/

The only thing I can find when I search my archive is about using froth-pak on 
the back of the panels.  Are there any other options that work?
