Bad connectors and connections don't cause problems? A bad or leaky ground on a Heliax cable will not cause problems? If I am wrong, I will ask Tessco for refund on trip to training Jaime Solorza On Aug 16, 2017 9:13 PM, "Lewis Bergman" wrote: You are so wrong. On

Your last line is why PIM testing and prevention is such a fast growing business. We have standards to meet and are held accountable at SCADA sites. We have inspectors check everything and final payment can be held up until everything passes. Always try to do it right first time...pays off in

Just make sure that you meet the bit rate and payload requirements of 101.141. If you can't do that, getting the "widest channel you can" would be problematic. From: Af on behalf of Mathew Howard Sent: Wednesday,

Re: [AFMUG] how far and much

These are all good answers but there is more. Definitely points to be made on other geographic areas and soil content. I do not believe for one second there isnt a tower that will NOT get struck. Thing about the energy that strikes is to channel that energy or disperse it somewhere it

Its my fault because we are challenging them in some caf areas for sure here. We have till Jan2018 to get our first round done for Caf phase2 I think were going to pull it off for sure. Seems like a bottomless pit till you get there though. On 8/16/2017 2:39 PM, CBB - Jay Fuller wrote:

Great questions … and something I should have elaborated on for sure… Yes - each portion of the tower had it’s own isolated grounds besides the tower itself. These went into a grounding grid built around the base of the site. The guy wires were of course all grounded out into their own grids

Re: [AFMUG] AF-11x

Seems pointless not to ask for the widest channel you can get. Unless you're absolutely sure you're never going to need more bandwidth, then I guess you could be nice and try to leave some more spectrum open, but if there's even a tiny chance you're going to ever need more capacity, I'd just go

So, was the tower mounted equipment isolated with its own ground wire? Curious about the improper isolation at the entry point. What was the proper way and what did the improper installation do to violate that? From: Paul Stewart Sent: Wednesday, August 16, 2017 8:05 AM To: af@afmug.com

Re: [AFMUG] how far and much

I’ve only ever encountered one tower (at former job) that was pretty “bulletproof” … The tower was 350ft and located on the highest elevation for about 100 square KM area … so it was a prime target for lightning strikes. I don’t know exactly how many times a year it took a hit but would

Re: [AFMUG] how far and much

I would think the answers depend on the part of the country you are in. Florida has lightning like nowhere else. Northern mountain sites have ice falls. Coastal areas have salty fogs etc. And everywhere you have ass-hats that work for other companies that may mess up your installation. High

Yes, I have been looking at the matrix. It appears that almost all of them will work with a 2 foot dish at up to perhaps 10 miles. So the question will be what to ask for on the license. I presume I should ask for the widest channel I can get. From: Faisal Imtiaz Sent: Tuesday, August

No such thing as a bullet proof tower. At least not in my area. All the over-engineering in the world can't stop a direct strike. Some days you get lucky, some days not. It's a roll of the dice. On Wed, Aug 16, 2017 at 7:29 AM, David Milholen wrote: > I am asking for pure
