Re: [WISPA] Tower Footings

2010-09-20 Thread Paul Hendry
The concrete in question is actually a landing strip so is plenty
strong/thick enough. As we would normally cement in the rods that the
tower is mounted onto, I need to know how it would be done when the
concrete is already there. Anyone doing this or is it just not the way
to go?

I would want to know the concrete strength, if it had rebar in it and
how deep and wide it goes.  As well if they are belled out.  I’m all for
saving a bunch of bucks but gotta make sure you stay within specs for
the new tower.  Also, bolting onto the old foundation, go deep!

Hi all, 

 

We have a 12m VersaTower that we are looking to install but
where it needs installing there is already a very solid concrete
foundations. We have only ever installed a tower by digging fresh
foundations and was wondering if anyone knows of an acceptable techniche
for mounting directly onto existing foundations or if this is just not a
very good idea at all. 

 

Many thanks,

2010-09-20 Thread Bob Moldashel
If it is only 40' tall and there is not a huge amount of wind loading 
you can drill into the slab with a hammer drill and and secure threaded 
rod (galvanized or stainless) in the holes with Hilti HY epoxy. When 
drilling the holes in the epoxy bevel them slightly off center.

That will hold it providing you have some sort of base plate to attach to.

If it's tree growth, no.   That means we messed up during install.

If the customers moves to a new house, we recharge the installation fee.

 hole in the center, and my climber had to take up snips and a rasp, and
 basically put a small notch in the center of the dish, to get the new
 feedhorn to fit. The other dish was older, or newer, or something, and
 already had a suitable small notch in the center.

Re: [WISPA] Charge to move equipment

2010-09-20 Thread Josh Luthman
Same here.

If they want it moved because it was on their barn and want it
elsewhere, that's a charge.

If it's simple tree growth, no charge.  If our mounting falls off
because of the wrong screw, no charge.

Basically if it is our fault or poor foresight no charge but if they
want something special we charge.

When we bill, we bill at $80/hr, 1/2 hr minimum, one-way drive time.

road signs - 7

The trick is to use multiple so that you get 3-4 (touches) to your potential

Re: [WISPA] Charge to move equipment

2010-09-20 Thread Bret Clark
We don't charge only because we are in a competitive environment and 
sell to business that have contracts; thus we can charge more on the MTM 
rates. If you're the only game in town I see no reason why not to charge 
(might as well take advantage of being a monopoly), but if they could 
leave to go somewhere else then it really comes down to what your ROI is 
and if you can afford to lose a customer.

[WISPA] Kernel Patching

2010-09-20 Thread Glenn Kelley
Just a heads up. 

Those of you who are running Debian, CentOS, RedHat and other systems similar.
There is a pretty big security flaw on the 64 bit side of these systems now 
labeled as 
CVE-2010-3081


In short 

The flaw identified by CVE-2010-3081 (Red Hat Bugzilla bug 634457) describes an 
issue in the 32/64-bit compatibility layer implementation in the Linux kernel, 
versions 2.6.26-rc1 to 2.6.36-rc4. The compat_alloc_user_space() function is 
missing a sanity check on the length argument, and also a check to make sure 
the pointer to the block of memory in user-space that the process is attempting 
to write to is valid. This flaw was addressed via the upstream git commit 
c41d68a5 for the 2.6 Linux kernel.

This function could be abused in other areas of the Linux kernel if the length 
argument can be controlled from user-space. A known example of this is the 
compat_mc_getsockopt() function for MCAST_MSFILTER that was introduced in 
upstream git commit 42908c69 (v2.6.26-rc1).

You can easily fix this by implementing the patch located here:

Thanks for the update.  Thank goodness I run only 2 bit code!

 There is a pretty big security flaw on the 64 bit side of these systems now
 labeled as

 CVE-2010-3081

 In short
 The flaw identified by CVE-2010-3081 (Red Hat Bugzilla bug 634457) describes
 an issue in the 32/64-bit compatibility layer implementation in the Linux
 kernel, versions 2.6.26-rc1 to 2.6.36-rc4. The compat_alloc_user_space()
 function is missing a sanity check on the length argument, and also a check
 to make sure the pointer to the block of memory in user-space that the
 process is attempting to write to is valid. This flaw was addressed via the
 upstream git commit c41d68a5 for the 2.6 Linux kernel.
 This function could be abused in other areas of the Linux kernel if the
 length argument can be controlled from user-space. A known example of this
 is the compat_mc_getsockopt() function for MCAST_MSFILTER that was
 introduced in upstream git commit 42908c69 (v2.6.26-rc1).
 You can easily fix this by implementing the patch located here:

 Us too. If it's our fault we don't charge. If they move to a new 
house, we actually either charge half of the install rate or free move 
for keeping the service.


If they need to move it within the same house due to their liking, we 
charge an hourly rate.

Re: [WISPA] Tower Footings

2010-09-20 Thread Robert West
So…  Does the FBO know this or will it be a surprise in the morning with 
the first plane on final???!!!

 

HA!

 

 

 

Depends on the landing strip.  Rome Air Force Base, yes.

 

Small county strip, heck no!

 

Here in Ohio, most landing strips were just a mile of asphalt to start.  Then 
extended.  No real base there.

 

As a side note, the county where I am were GIVEN a 300 foot ATT long lines 
tower.  They immediately  demolished it as an air hazard because it was close 
to the county strip.  (We actually used the thing as a marker when turning onto 
the base leg on approach)  Now, of course, they are kicking themselves for the 
cash they are spending on new towers for the safety services.  DUMMIES!

The concrete in question is actually a landing strip so is plenty strong/thick 
enough. As we would normally cement in the rods that the tower is mounted onto, 
I need to know how it would be done when the concrete is already there. Anyone 
doing this or is it just not the way to go?

Hi all, 

 

We have a 12m VersaTower that we are looking to install but where 
it needs installing there is already a very solid concrete foundations. We have 
only ever installed a tower by digging fresh foundations and was wondering if 
anyone knows of an acceptable techniche for mounting directly onto existing 
foundations or if this is just not a very good idea at all.

 Just a heads up.
 Those of you who are running Debian, CentOS, RedHat and other systems
 similar.
 There is a pretty big security flaw on the 64 bit side of these systems now
 labeled as

 CVE-2010-3081

 In short
 The flaw identified by CVE-2010-3081 (Red Hat Bugzilla bug 634457) describes
 an issue in the 32/64-bit compatibility layer implementation in the Linux
 kernel, versions 2.6.26-rc1 to 2.6.36-rc4. The compat_alloc_user_space()
 function is missing a sanity check on the length argument, and also a check
 to make sure the pointer to the block of memory in user-space that the
 process is attempting to write to is valid. This flaw was addressed via the
 upstream git commit c41d68a5 for the 2.6 Linux kernel.
 This function could be abused in other areas of the Linux kernel if the
 length argument can be controlled from user-space. A known example of this
 is the compat_mc_getsockopt() function for MCAST_MSFILTER that was
 introduced in upstream git commit 42908c69 (v2.6.26-rc1).
 You can easily fix this by implementing the patch located here:

 http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=c41d68a513c71e35a14f66d71782d27a79a81ea6.
 As always - if you are stuck -please do not hesitate to contact me offlist -
 while the patch is from 9/19/10 - many wispa's have not patched their
 systems simply because they don't know they needed to.
 As always - when in doubt check the security lists out :-)

I've been taking a round canvas bag with my tools in it to the top of the
towers that I work on. But it gets aggravating since it is soft sided
and collapses when I set it down on the top of the water tank. So, I tired a
5 gallon bucket the other day but dont like that it wants to tip whenever it
hits a obstacle on the way up. So, what do you guys use?

Re: [WISPA] tower tool bag

2010-09-20 Thread Robert West
I use a canvas bag!  

 

One that the belt on the safety harness can go through to hold it onto my
back.  I also have a zippered canvas bag that I strap on as well.  (Keep the
drinks in  that one!)

 

But  I love the big orange 5 gallon buckets for serious hauling things
up.  I just make sure the drill or whatever is the heaviest is in the bottom
of the bucket because, as you say, it will tip over on the way up.  

 

I've never lost anything on the way up.  My problem was dropping stuff
before I learned to put a rope on every wrench or whatever!

 

I've seen some soft sided bags that are of a thicker canvas and have a rigid
plastic bottom.  They look pretty sturdy.  I'd hate to have something not
soft sided strapped to me while negotiating the transition the ladder makes
2/3rds up a 300 foot self-supporter.  I bang my head enough on that, don't
need to be snagged with a plastic bucket.

I've been taking a round canvas bag with my tools in it to the top of the
towers that I work on. But it gets aggravating since it is soft sided and
collapses when I set it down on the top of the water tank. So, I tired a 5
gallon bucket the other day but dont like that it wants to tip whenever it
hits a obstacle on the way up. So, what do you guys use?

 Just a heads up.
 Those of you who are running Debian, CentOS, RedHat and other systems 
 similar.
 There is a pretty big security flaw on the 64 bit side of these 
 systems now labeled as

 CVE-2010-3081

 In short
 The flaw identified by CVE-2010-3081 (Red Hat Bugzilla bug 634457) 
 describes an issue in the 32/64-bit compatibility layer 
 implementation in the Linux kernel, versions 2.6.26-rc1 to 
 2.6.36-rc4. The compat_alloc_user_space() function is missing a 
 sanity check on the length argument, and also a check to make sure 
 the pointer to the block of memory in user-space that the process is 
 attempting to write to is valid. This flaw was addressed via the upstream
git commit c41d68a5 for the 2.6 Linux kernel.
 This function could be abused in other areas of the Linux kernel if 
 the length argument can be controlled from user-space. A known 
 example of this is the compat_mc_getsockopt() function for 
 MCAST_MSFILTER that was introduced in upstream git commit 42908c69
(v2.6.26-rc1).
 You can easily fix this by implementing the patch located here:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=
c41d68a513c71e35a14f66d71782d27a79a81ea6.
 As always - if you are stuck -please do not hesitate to contact me 
 offlist - while the patch is from 9/19/10 - many wispa's have not 
 patched their systems simply because they don't know they needed to.
 As always - when in doubt check the security lists out :-)

Re: [WISPA] Charge to move equipment

2010-09-20 Thread Tom DeReggi
Depends on the exactations set at time of original  order.

We sell a monthly service and guarantee that it will work.
If it doesn;t work, they dont pay, or they switch providers.
We also charge well for primary first install.
We also have lots of wirelinbe competition that does not have risks of 
foliage growth.
HAven't you seen the DISH versus Cable Commercials bashing DISH for all the 
consumer frustration having to install, maintain and fix their own DISH that 
is alledged troublesome?
We combated that impression by taking responsibilty for any thing that might 
incur in the future. We are full service. Not only are they buying service 
but they are buying an implied service maintenance agreement to make sure it 
keeps working well.  Thats why we charge a bit more than other commodity 
providers, we warrantee the broadband experience on an on going basis.
So no we do not charge to move an antenna if that is what is required to 
maintain quality signal and service.

BUT... any equipment move that is NOT required to fix service quality, we 
charge for. BUT we low ball the price, because... WE DONT WANT END USERS 
TOUCHING OUR GEAR AND INSTALLING IT WRONG, BECAUSE THEN WE ARE FORCED TO 
WARRANTEE SERVICE QUALITY ON AN ON GOING BASIS AND HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE THAT 
CUSTOMER MIGHT HAVE SCREWED THE INSTALL UP AND MOVED IT. EVeryone thinks 
they are a technician and they are not.  So we make it mandatory to pay us 
to move any wireless gear. IF they touch it, it voids warrantee, and we 
charge heavily full retail to fix it after they touch it.

So... We will move gear at consumer request for just about any reason, but 
charge a low price to do it. I recognize low price is a matter of one's 
own perception.

We normally charge $90/hour, not to exceed more than Half-Price of the 
advertised Install Fee.  We figure they deserve a reduced rate if they have 
been a good subscriber of ours for a while.

 I forget where we bought the feedhorns from, but this can be done.

 We actually just replaced two of them, doing exactly what you

 There was a catch, though. The feedhorn has two N connectors, a few
 inches and ninety degrees apart. One of the two dishes had a smaller
 hole in the center, and my climber had to take up snips and a rasp, 
 and
 basically put a small notch in the center of the dish, to get the new
 feedhorn to fit. The other dish was older, or newer, or something, and
 already had a suitable small notch in the center.

Re: [WISPA] tower tool bag

2010-09-20 Thread Justin Wilson
Learn the limitations of them.  That¹s the big lesson I learned years
ago.  The idea is you should have some ³bolt bags² on you as well.  Use the
bolt bags to hold tools which you are going to use immediately or near
future and hold, what else, bolts and nuts.  Most climbers do not take the
kitchen sink up with them.  They take what tools they will need and maybe a
couple of multi-purpose tools such as adjustable wrenches.

If you are doing installs you should have multiple tool bags.  For
example, say you are putting up 3 standoffs with sectors on them.  When you
haul the standoffs up you should have a canvas bag attached to each
standoff.  This bag contains the hardware needed to mount that standoff and
whatever else needs to be put on that standoff (if it¹s not already). At
that point all you are carrying are some small handtools.  The wrench(s) are
in the bag attached to the first standoff.

Granted you can¹t carry everything up with you for a repair, but you
don¹t need to.  If you are unsure drag a rope behind you.  Sure it might
take a few extra moments to pull something up, but it means you are not
taking every tool you own up the tower too.

As far as the bag tipping and wanting to collapse tie the bag off with a
biners so it does not slide.  If you have big tools such as drills that want
to slide out of the bag get biners on them and tie them off somewhere.

I say.  (you know it's coming..)

 

Just check on our website, it should tell you an estimate of when it will
be back up.  If it goes over the time, just shoot us an email.

 

And she says Oh, okay.  I'll write that down

 

 

 

 

 

Yes, I eventually told her it was a joke but most of them fall for it.

Re: [WISPA] Tower Footings

I have a customer who has a grass field with a Cessna 172 and permission to
use it anytime.  Both the field and the 172.  I never have.

They use asphalt up there? Here they just upgraded the local landing strips
from dirt to crushed stone :)

HA!

 

 

 

Depends on the landing strip.  Rome Air Force Base, yes.

 

Small county strip, heck no!

 

Here in Ohio, most landing strips were just a mile of asphalt to start.
Then extended.  No real base there.

 

As a side note, the county where I am were GIVEN a 300 foot ATT long lines
tower.  They immediately  demolished it as an air hazard because it was
close to the county strip.  (We actually used the thing as a marker when
turning onto the base leg on approach)  Now, of course, they are kicking
themselves for the cash they are spending on new towers for the safety
services.  DUMMIES!

The concrete in question is actually a landing strip so is plenty
strong/thick enough. As we would normally cement in the rods that the tower
is mounted onto, I need to know how it would be done when the concrete is
already there. Anyone doing this or is it just not the way to go?

I would want to know the concrete strength, if it had rebar in it and how
deep and wide it goes.  As well if they are belled out.  I'm all for saving
a bunch of bucks but gotta make sure you stay within specs for the new
tower.  Also, bolting onto the old foundation, go deep!

Hi all, 

 

We have a 12m VersaTower that we are looking to install but
where it needs installing there is already a very solid concrete
foundations. We have only ever installed a tower by digging fresh
foundations and was wondering if anyone knows of an acceptable techniche for
mounting directly onto existing foundations or if this is just not a very
good idea at all. 

 

Many thanks,

road signs -- 5 if by this you mean yard signs like real estate
agents use
Direct mail -- 9 But see below...
demo trucks -- never tried
billboards -- never tried
word of mouth -- 9

We started direct mail this year... But we do it differently than many.

we drive by and record addresses and rate them as low cost, medium cost
or high cost install.

Then we mail pre-qualified for service flyer's to all the low cost ones
offering $50 off the install good for 2-4 weeks.

The response rate is around 4%

Re: [WISPA] Most effective Marketing / Advertisement

We door hang.  For sure links, we hang a flyer on their door on the OUTSIDE
of their mailbox  Never the inside, bad mojo with the post office by
putting INSIDE the box.  We use the circle sticklers by Avery and print them
up on the laser printer.  Essentially.  FREE! 

 

As Blair condensed, Newspaper sucks,. Road signs, forget about it.  Direct
mail, $$$  Tried billboards ONCE, YIKE$!  

 

The door hanging gives us the biggest bang for the buck by far.

 

 

I like cheap.
