Re: [WISPA] Question about beacon lights rules on a tower

2010-12-03 Thread Forbes Mercy
I have a 100 foot guyed tower on top of a hill, it was previously an FM 
Radio station, they moved their site,  sold us the site, but continue to 
use this site for STL's.  Since then I've added the Fire Department and 
a low power radio station plus my own equipment.  The tower was never 
lighted but was red and white paint.  When the FM moved off it they 
painted it white.  Can you tell me the purpose of why they painted it 
and how, especially being <10 miles from an approach why we don't have 
to light it?


Thanks,
Forbes

*Subject:* Re: [WISPA] Question about beacon lights rules on a tower

Helicopters fly at night and in the worst visibility conditions. They 
fly slow and hover. If there is a particular vector or direction that 
an antenna blocks the visibility of the beacon light it can cause 
these types of accidents. A helicopter would linger in a blind spot of 
the obstructed tower light much longer than a plane would and 
depending on their direction of flight could be in the blind spot for 
their whole flight.


I too was a lighting compliance expert for a tower company. I filed 
hundreds of these applications and had the software to do advanced 
studies near airports that had precision instrument approaches.  Many 
people do not realize that when they construct a 190 or so  tower that 
the crane will be taller than 200ft during construction. You are 
required to file for a clearance for that crane to exceed the 200ft 
height even if it is temporary. While they can't do anything to you if 
you don't file, your insurance carrier will not touch any payout on a 
claim if it is discovered you did not do the proper paperwork. For 
liability reasons people want to see that letter from the FAA saying 
that it is not a hazard to navigation.


Another big topic that most people do not realize is that you are also 
required to run your towers through your state DOT office (They all 
have an airspace group). They also have the authority to require you 
to light a tower. Normally the FAA will notify the proper state when 
you file for a site, but that does not absolve you of your requirement 
to make sure it has been done. I had a tower in the state of 
Washington where the FAA said no problem but the state DOT required us 
to light it. It was in a mountain pass along I-90. Their reasoning was 
that planes will fly below the cloud cover and follow the valley often 
with low clearances. They felt the tower should be lit for those 
circumstances. We had no choice but to light it.


It does not cost much time or money to have a tower studied and then 
file with the FAA. To eliminate the risk of making a mistake and not 
meeting the proper criteria I think it's foolish not to go through the 
process for every new structure you build just to cover your butt. 
Relying solely on the TOWAIR tool on the FCC web site and/or the tool 
on the FAA web site makes me nervous, many times I found them to be 
wrong in situations where you are close to a public airfield or in the 
path of an instrument procedure. Instrument approaches can have an 
effect up to 10 nautical miles from the end of a runway.

Re: [WISPA] Quick question

2010-12-03 Thread Marlon K. Schafer
Well, there are 83.5 mhz of spectrum available.  So in theory, no.

HOWEVER, it'll depend on how close they are.

So if you have two systems at fairly low power levels I'd expect you to be 
fine.  If the power levels are very high though, you WILL interfer with 
yourself.

Also, you'll likely find that you are already causing most of your 
interference from having so many sectors so close together on that tower (I 
read that you have 4 sectors up there as I recall).

marlon

2010-12-03 Thread Robert West
I already knew it was a killer!

 

About 7 or 8 years ago a friend of mine put in a dedicated link to a
business customer.  Customer was in a hole so the down tilt took him into
about 8 feet of two very tall pine trees.  To compensate, he.  Uh.
Well, he pushed the power WAY over legal!  After about a year the tops of
those trees were a bit discolored.  Now the tops really aren't on the top
anymore

Re: [WISPA] Quick question

2010-12-03 Thread Marlon K. Schafer
Here's a really good video for you to look at.  It's about wispy but notice 
how the wireless signals don't just stop at the edge of the channels, they 
actually bleed down in a bell shape.

http://www.dailywireless.org/2010/04/15/spectrum-analyzers-get-integrated/

OFDM signals (g and a) are much more squared off on top than what this shows 
though.

Hope that helps,
marlon

Yeah, but we have seen some of the Wi-Fi effects on you . LoL 

 

I guess if there was 'issues' with Wi-Fi, some of would really be showing
the effects by now!

Humm. let me think about this.

Guys, running around saying they are radio-active . nope, that is normal.

Wi-Fi is killing trees, study finds
Enjoying reading the latest technology news and reviews here on Crave? Hope
you're pleased with yourself, because you're killing a tree. Dutch
researchers have discovered the sad news that Wi-Fi makes trees sick.
The tree-loving folks of Dutch city Alphen aan den Rijn commissioned the
study after finding abnormalities on trees that couldn't be explained by
known viral or bacterial infections. Over the last five years, the study
found that all deciduous trees in the western world are affected by
radiation from mobile-phone 
networks and wireless LANs.

Over 70 per cent of trees in urban areas in the Netherlands are afflicted by
Wi-Fi sickness, displaying significant variations in growth, and bleeding
and fissures in their bark. That's compared with just 10 per cent showing
symptoms five years ago. Meanwhile, trees in wooded areas remain happy and
healthy, untroubled by wireless unwellness.

We've been debating the health issues raised by Wi-Fi since Crave was
knee-high to a router, examining contradictory findings
 
ague-49290554/>  way back in 2007. Since then, there hasn't been any
conclusive proof whether Wi-Fi is harmful to humans or not.
The Health Protection Agency
 
RadiationTopics/ElectromagneticFields/WiFi/>  states that "there is no
consistent evidence to date that exposure to radio signals from Wi-Fi and
WLANs adversely affects the health of the general population". A small
number of people suffer from electromagnetic hypersensitivity -- the
symptoms of which include headaches and nausea -- but there's some debate
about the degree to which those symptoms are actually caused by
electromagnetic fields.

Generally speaking, our exposure to radio signals from Wi-Fi is well below
government safety levels, and much lower than from mobile phones, in part
because you don't walk around with a router clamped to your ear. You'd have
to live in a Wi-Fi hotspot for a year to absorb the same amount of radio
waves as you would from a 20-minute phone call, and there's no concrete
evidence that mobile phones are bad for you either. If you're worried, just
make yourself a hat out of tin foil.
We like trees an' all, but they're no Internet. There's only one thing for
it: we'll just have to launch all the forests into space
 . Right, time to make like a
tree and leave.

If it was a "quick" format that's true, the data area of the disk is intact and 
if it hasn't been overwritten it's recoverable to some degree. If it was a full 
format then for regular folks the data is gone, it takes some pretty special 
tricks to recover.

This is not true, you can recover files from a formatted drive.  We do
it all the time.  The problem is the more and more it is used the less
you can recover.  Also, obviously the part of the disk where it wrote
the OS during installation will be gone, but fortunately that a lot of
times is where it was the first time and the actual "data" files
(pictures, documents, music,...) are recoverable. 

 

The tool I would suggest is:

I know they exist, I just don't know which one's are a good bang for the

Marlon, 

 

It depends on what you mean by "reload windows". You might need a file
recovery program such as Data Recovery Wizard, etc. Or it may be as simple
as rolling it back to an earlier restore date. For transferring files, I use
an invaluable tool: http://thetornado.com -  so easy a chimp can do it!

I use Active@ File Recovery for such things.  I can tell it to only find JPG

you're pleased with yourself, because you're killing a tree. Dutch

The tree-loving folks of Dutch city Alphen aan den Rijn commissioned the

found that all deciduous trees in the western world are affected by
radiation from mobile-phone

Over 70 per cent of trees in urban areas in the Netherlands are afflicted

Wi-Fi sickness, displaying significant variations in growth, and bleeding
and fissures in their bark. That's compared with just 10 per cent showing

Probably worse than that.  Microsoft no longer ships Windows 
installation disks with consumer computers.  Instead,they provide a 
disk or hidden partition that only does one thing:  It restores the 
hard drive to the original factory state, wiping out everything on 
the drive (revirgination). So if your Windows files or settings get 
spooged, as  happens with a virus, you need to find a way to back 
everything, and I mean everything, up, and then selectively restore 
afterwards.  Or just get your hands on a more normal copy of Windows, 
which alas isn't all that cheap.


It sounds as if the consumer followed the instructions and 
revirginated the machine.  I don't think that the process actually 
wipes the sectors clean, NSA-style, so it may be possible to restore 
at least some files.  Others may be restored in part... on a picture 
file, you might get part of the picture.

If the Windows installer formatted the drive it's gone, all gone.

What version of Windows (XP, Vista, 7)?

Re: [WISPA] Question about beacon lights rules on a tower

2010-12-03 Thread Brian Webster
Helicopters fly at night and in the worst visibility conditions. They fly
slow and hover. If there is a particular vector or direction that an antenna
blocks the visibility of the beacon light it can cause these types of
accidents. A helicopter would linger in a blind spot of the obstructed tower
light much longer than a plane would and depending on their direction of
flight could be in the blind spot for their whole flight.

 

I too was a lighting compliance expert for a tower company. I filed hundreds
of these applications and had the software to do advanced studies near
airports that had precision instrument approaches.  Many people do not
realize that when they construct a 190 or so  tower that the crane will be
taller than 200ft during construction. You are required to file for a
clearance for that crane to exceed the 200ft height even if it is temporary.
While they can't do anything to you if you don't file, your insurance
carrier will not touch any payout on a claim if it is discovered you did not
do the proper paperwork. For liability reasons people want to see that
letter from the FAA saying that it is not a hazard to navigation.

 

Another big topic that most people do not realize is that you are also
required to run your towers through your state DOT office (They all have an
airspace group). They also have the authority to require you to light a
tower. Normally the FAA will notify the proper state when you file for a
site, but that does not absolve you of your requirement to make sure it has
been done. I had a tower in the state of Washington where the FAA said no
problem but the state DOT required us to light it. It was in a mountain pass
along I-90. Their reasoning was that planes will fly below the cloud cover
and follow the valley often with low clearances. They felt the tower should
be lit for those circumstances. We had no choice but to light it.

 

It does not cost much time or money to have a tower studied and then file
with the FAA. To eliminate the risk of making a mistake and not meeting the
proper criteria I think it's foolish not to go through the process for every
new structure you build just to cover your butt. Relying solely on the
TOWAIR tool on the FCC web site and/or the tool on the FAA web site makes me
nervous, many times I found them to be wrong in situations where you are
close to a public airfield or in the path of an instrument procedure.
Instrument approaches can have an effect up to 10 nautical miles from the
end of a runway.  www.airspaceusa.com has an excellent team who can help
especially in difficult situations. I have no financial interest in the
company but did work with them in the past and found them to be top notch.
Their President is a retired FAA airspace expert.

I'm not surprised but what I find interesting is this: How does a few feet
make a difference to a helicopter or airplane? Why would you be that close
to a tower either way?

My first job out of college was working as an RF engineer for Sprint
Cellular. One of the joyful tasks I had to do as a very junior engineer was
audit FCC and FAA filings for about 500 cell sites along the eastern
seaboard. The regulations then, and I believe still, are that nothing is
supposed to be higher than the top light and that anything that does exceed
that height requires a submission of a notice of proposed change, an
approval for such change, and then a notice of completion once the change
has been made. In addition, if you do exceed that height, you must raise the
light so that it is at least even with the highest point of any attachments
that protrude from the top of the tower. All that being said, if the tower
does not require lighting, then you can do whatever you want. Some cities
light every water tower even though there is no requirement to do so. If the
tower is not registered with the FAA, and your attachments don't exceed a
height that requires you to register, then bolt away. Otherwise, it is best
to stay in compliance. I forgot to mention that the reason I had to do the
audit, was because Sprint failed to temporarily light a tower under
construction. A care flight helicopter transporting a crash victim smacked
it and everyone died.

www.easeus.com - data recovery wizard - can't beat it for the price.  Will

Marlon,

 

It depends on what you mean by "reload windows". You might need a file
recovery program such as Data Recovery Wizard, etc. Or it may be as simple
as rolling it back to an earlier restore date. For transferring files, I use
an invaluable tool: http://thetornado.com -  so easy a chimp can do it!

Because the obstruction MAY block the light from the pilot's view from
certain angles. As for why are they close anyway? They may not know the
tower is there - EXAMPLE: EMS Helo's often fly into strange areas at the
request of local public safety. Another reason is that weather related

[WISPA] UBNT Station List

Has UBNT resolved the 32 max number of stations that you can see in the station 
list yet?

I see in 5.3 beta 4 there is the ability to sort the list added.  But it 
doesn't say how many at a time.

Re: [WISPA] Question about beacon lights rules on a tower

2010-12-03 Thread Cameron Crum
My first job out of college was working as an RF engineer for Sprint
Cellular. One of the joyful tasks I had to do as a very junior engineer was
audit FCC and FAA filings for about 500 cell sites along the eastern
seaboard. The regulations then, and I believe still, are that nothing is
supposed to be higher than the top light and that anything that does exceed
that height requires a submission of a notice of proposed change, an
approval for such change, and then a notice of completion once the change
has been made. In addition, if you do exceed that height, you must raise the
light so that it is at least even with the highest point of any attachments
that protrude from the top of the tower. All that being said, if the tower
does not require lighting, then you can do whatever you want. Some cities
light every water tower even though there is no requirement to do so. If the
tower is not registered with the FAA, and your attachments don't exceed a
height that requires you to register, then bolt away. Otherwise, it is best
to stay in compliance. I forgot to mention that the reason I had to do the
audit, was because Sprint failed to temporarily light a tower under
construction. A care flight helicopter transporting a crash victim smacked
it and everyone died.
