[WISPA] Dennis's Router OS Book.

2011-04-26 Thread Tom DeReggi
I just bought a copy of Dennis Burgess's Learn Router OS Book.
I have to say, I felt it was very well written and laid out intuitively.
For those that haven't seen it, and have new techs needing to be introduced to 
Mikrotik, I highly recommend it.

We just put up one of their Standard Duty 120 footers. About half the cost
of Rohn and I think it's a better built tower. Wind loading specs were
higher on them too than the Rohn.

There is a lot of good knowledge in there, but it was hard to find - in part
because the page numbers are on the inside, by the spine, instead of on the
outer corner of the page where they're supposed to be. Lots of typographical
errors, a few spelling errors, lots of awkward-sounding first-person voice.

Maybe I've been spoiled by O'Reilly's high standards for technical books --
or maybe I'm nitpicky because I was a newspaper copy editor during college
-- but it really seems like Dennis' copy editor fell asleep. I still have it
on the shelf, and it's not bad, but it could be a lot better. I'd jump all
over a copy of Learn RouterOS, Second Edition, though, with a better index
and a bit of polish.

[WISPA] Rope

2011-04-26 Thread Steve Barnes
Looking at rope to winch equipment (antennas, Boxes, etc) to top of towers None 
over 275' nothing more than 100 Lbs.

Couple Questions.

What Rope do you prefer and size and what length do you recommend?  I have a 
400Ft Spool of 3/8 Poly double braided but its not long enough.

How do you store your rope for transport to keep it untangled.

What do you use as a throw line to get the rope to the top.   Most of my towers 
the climber cant pull to the top.

Re: [WISPA] Rope

2011-04-26 Thread chris
We have a 600ft 5/8” twisted nylon that we use when doing up to 300ft. We store 
it in one of those big plastic WalMart totes. We lay it in the tote in a zigzag 
pattern alternating long wise and width wise. I wish it was a braided nylon 
rope, but at the time I couldn’t find one. Most of the time on shorter towers 
we use a 500ft 1/2” braided nylon. The 1/2” should be plenty for what you need. 
I’d like to get a 700-800 foot 1/2” for some jobs.

I have done the hose reel before, and never will again.  It's like cat5 on a
spool, hangs up, and is definitely a pain in the rear you don't want to deal
with when climbing.  Most tower crews (one showed me) will do a figure 8 of
rope into a barrel/tub/bin.  Have been doing it that way for 4+ years and
never had an issue.

Re: [WISPA] Rope

2011-04-26 Thread Jim Patient
We have a 1600' ½ Braided no stretch rope from Pelican.  It is 130lbs and we 
keep it in a plastic 55gal drum.  We have never had a tangle in it.  We just 
clip a carbineer on the top of the barrel so the end can never get looped under 
and make a knot.  We also have a 600' 3/8 that we keep in a plastic tote.  If 
you start from one end and feed it in the barrel or tote and attach the 
trailing end to the tote it will always come back out the same way it went in.  
We have even tipped the barrel over and had it roll around.  As long as you 
start pulling it back out by the trailing end it will come out smooth.  We use 
a cheap 1000'  ¼ yellow rope to climb up and run it through the block.  Then 
drop a weight down and pull up the big rope with the cathead.

 

Same thing with trotlines.  I put them in a bucket and when I tie them to a 
tree just take off with the boat and it comes right back out the way it went 
in.  We have the world record class catfish here so my trotline is ¼ braided 
nylon;-) 
http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/outposts/2010/07/missouri-fisherman-lands-record-breaking-130-pound-catfish.html

 

We don't have antennas at 700' any longer so if somebody needs the 1600'r, it's 
for sale.  It is factory spliced (braided) at 600'.  I paid $1200 for it and 
would take $800.  It has only been used a couple times and kept indoors.

[WISPA] Isolated 24V to 48V DC/DC converter

2011-04-26 Thread Kristian Hoffmann
Hi,

Can someone recommend an isolated 24V to 48V DC/DC converter rated at
50W and preferably 200W?  I'm looking to power some positive ground
48VDC telecom gear off a 24V negative ground battery system.  I saw a
70W unit in a Kyocera solar system before that would be perfect, but I
don't know the make/model and can't find it with Google.

Thanks,

We tried the Meanwell SD-200B-48 upconverters and had issues with them 
running hot to the touch.  Upgraded to the SD-350B-48 with the built-in 
fan and they run like a charm.  No failures to date. $100 vs $120.

You can order online from Powergate.   Real fast ship and they don't 
gouge on the shipping charges.

We use them for cell providers on Dragonwave, Exalt and Ceragon licensed 
deployments without issue.

The inputs and outputs are totally isolated as is the metal case.

Re: [WISPA] Rope

2011-04-26 Thread bmoldashel
Steve, 

Rope is usually sold in 600 and 1200 foot rolls.  My crews use 7/16 
Kernmantle on most jobs. 5/8 for big stuff. 

We have small rope bags with 5/16 Kernmantle that gets carried up and 
thrown down.  Then the bigger stuff is pulled up. The bags will store 
500-600' and it plays out of the bag fine without binding. 

All of our other rope is carried in garbage pails with covers. Two handles 
make it easy to carry and it stays watertight when snapped closed. 

You can find 600' of 1/2 Arborist Rope on E-Bay for about $250 includes 
shipping.  Longer lengths will cost considerably more.

Thanks for the tips.  I had been eyeing the SD-200B-48 and SD-350B-48
and almost went with the SD-200.  Looks like the SD-350 is the winner.

Many thanks,

Re: [WISPA] Rope

2011-04-26 Thread Scott Carullo
You can get cheaper rope, but if you want the best call bluewater and have them 
cut you whatever length you want (they make the stuff).  Get Bluewater II plus 
static rope about 200M (656ft) that will handle everything you are doing and 
last longer than you need it if you take care of it.  We keep ours in trash 
cans like some of the others have mentioned (get the good rubbermaid cans not 
the cheapies they break)

don't store it wet and try to keep it out of the dirt, for the most part it 
should go out of and into the bucket.

Get a truck winch from midwest unlimited (capstain) and you will forever thank 
yourself.

You do not need another rope to pull up this one.  Just put a loop in the end 
have your climbers climb up with it hanging down.  We've gone over 400ft up 
without problems this way.  You can control where the rope goes too, throwing a 
bag and hoping for the best doesn't seem like a good idea to me.  Carry it up 
put it right where you want it.  Theres lots of tricks, don't have time to 
share them now.  Just make sure the guy taking the rope has an appropriate 
weight (at least 5lbs - use lead deep fishing weight) and they need a pully, 
strap and carabiner.  Then you are in business.

I don't like dynamic (or normal rope) as it stretches way too much for my 
tastes.  Use a static rope I think you would be happier and get braided - not 3 
twist stuff, you'll have a mess after loading it up and taking it down.

have fun :)

Re: [WISPA] New self-supporting tower

2011-04-26 Thread Charles Wu
Sabre Industries makes 150' freestanding monopoles.  I suspect they're cheaper 
than freestanding lattice towers.

Really?  Every monopole I've every priced seems to be 25-30% greater than a SSV 
of comparable wind load, not to mention you end up spending 50-70% more on the 
foundation

Plus, mounting on monopoles is a PITA, we're trying to move to 100% SSV for new 
boards (obviously, local zoning ordinances apply)
