Re: [AFMUG] Easy way to determine LOS
Wispmon Qualify Pro does this as well. It's what it was made for. However, the clutter data in any of these are only categories, and not very good ones at that. It seems they've all standardized on the small subset of categories used in RM. There are much more detailed clutter databases with hundreds of categories in them, but they are not used in this industry mostly due to cost and it's just not what people are used to. It is up to the end user to define the elevation per category. Obviously, this would be an average height of trees, etc, in those categories. There is no clutter height database as it would need to change so often it would not be practical. Qualify Pro allows you to move your mouse along the profile and shows the same position on the map, so that you can see from an aerial or sat view, exactly what it is causing the obstruction. IF you know your area, you can probably be within about 85% certainty of the potential for obstruction using this method. All of these tools, Qualify Pro, Heywhatsthat, RM, google earth, towercoverage, etc. are great for making an educated guess, but if there is any doubt, you should go check it out yourself before making a large investment in equipment.

Re: [AFMUG] Employee damaging equipment
When I owned a wisp my installers were contractors so I made them bring their own tools. I figured they'd take better care if them. Then, while changing a radio on a customers house I found a Dewalt cordless drill on top of the chimney. I asked the owner if it was his, and he said no. I asked my installer the next day. Turns out he left it there almost a year earlier. Go figure.

I fried a 500 dollar switch because I pulled an old radio off a tower but never disconnected the POE, it shorted out. I offered to pay but the boss wrote it off, I didnt turn in the equivalent amount of overtime to offset the cost. I was not happy I wasnt held accountable. I lost a surveillance camera, so I had them order a replacement and deduct it from my pay, after it arrived, I found the first one on the shelf in the van where I looked three times, I now have a camera, I should have been fired at this point, three substantial items in under 5 years. I had a #10 wrench slide off a roof into the snow never to be seen again, I didnt like that wrench anyway so i went to the hardware store and bough a ratchet wrench on the bosses dime. There is expected loss, the occasional hand tool, broken drill bits, zip ties, etc. but pretty much anything over 50 bucks, unless its a pretty valid reason should be the employees responsibility. You owners pay us to do a job, as with any job the things you provide cost you real money, youre not paying us to spend that money needlessly, when we waste your money we are accountable for the consequences, either financial or job applications. Not holding us accountable creates a dangerous dynamic in a workplace. You let us slide on a 300 dollar ladder, how careful will we be with a 2500 dollar trencher or 5k radio?

Re: [AFMUG] OT Gino, Jaime
Ken, Careful when talking about Cubanos...I had a very interesting experience with that word while living in Buenos Aires. In the all to common traffic jams, guys will walk between the cars selling Cubanos. They are like waffle cones rolled up with dolce de leche inside. One day I was was in a truck with two Argentines and two Mexican guys and decided to try some Cubanos. I honestly can't remember the Argentine word for the filling, but whatever they called it, the mexican guys did not understand. So, the Mexican guys took a bite and after exclaiming ahh, es cajeta, The Argnetine guys' heads whipped around, eyes wide open glancing down at their cubano wondering why theirs did not have this same filling. So now that everyone in the car was thoroughly confused, I had to ask what all the confusion was about. It turns out that in Argentina, cajeta is a rather lude term refering toe the taste of a womabetter not go there. Anyway, it was really fun getting to know the difference between the two dialects. Just shows, you have to be careful...might end up insulting someone. ;) On Thu, Oct 9, 2014 at 11:19 AM, Jaime Solorza via Af af@afmug.com wrote: I also walk every evening as religiously as I can and hike on weekends.
