Dennis,
I tried to mail you off list about the water
tower issue but the mail was returned to me as undeliverable. Email me
direct at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
and I will tell you how to go about getting on water towers.
Thanks,
Gloria

I understand everyone point.
I'm new to the WISP business, not to PtP links or wireless in general, but
just the WISP portion. Now, you give me a 2000 or 2003 server, CIsco
router, VPN, IPsec question. I will be all over
it.
So, for those who have answered my tower
questions, thanks a bunch. Your questions was insightful as well as
imforative. I was hoping to get some more info on who you guys
contacted to get space on watertowers. Think I have one every 10 miles
here! I called the Water District and they say its
a public works, thing and vise versa. My e-mail is [EMAIL PROTECTED] if someone would
like to help out.
And for those who, don't want anything but
smartbridge tech talk, I understand and apologize for the incovience.
But if you do have a question, IP config, routers, VPN stuff like that, let
me know. I get over 500 bucks month for a 1meg IPsec connection, plus
the 150 a month of 512k of internet at two locations :) so, IPsec is a good
business! heehe
la8ers

I have to side with Marlon....you get too
much off topic stuff going and Smartbridges will stop listing to the list
and you have lost your factory tech support on the list.
USe the other lists.

I'm not trying to argue, but I
respectfully disagree
I still say if you are using sB radios and anything that
concerns them are relevant, ie towers, servers, routers,
backhauls, battery backup, solar power, antennas,
etc.
Why should you have to monitor several sites if you are using sB
radios, this one is hard enough to keep with
Don't take this the wrong way, I may need your advice
sometime
My observation
Joe K
righto. But this particular list is
there for support of the RADIO's not everything else. There are
2 other good email lists and a web based forum designed for generic
questions.
That help?

OK Marlon
I've seen this happen more than once on this
site
For some reason or another someone only wants to talk about
the subject they want to talk about
I would think if you are a smartBridges user and you were
using them on a tower and you wanted to ask about a tower or
anything concerning these radios you should be able to post a
question
Some of us may not be as learned as
others
Why not ask questions to the people using the same radios as
you are
My observations
Joe K
btw guys, i didn't notice what list
this is on. These generic questions really belong on the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list rather than the
TT tech support one.
thanks
marlon

$2500 is not expensive compared to
spending $500 a month to be on someone else's towe.

Ouch. Thats what I have
been finding out. Much simpler and cheaper to run off
other towers unless you have the cash to outlay
:(
Any other
suggestions?

We built our own tower and it
was rather inexpensive. I have a friend who was in the
two way radio business for 40 years and built lots of
towers, so he was very helpful. We bought the 100'
steel tower (Rohn 25G) from Hutton (www.huttononline.com),
picked it up locally, for less than $1k. We used
friends / relatives for labor (free) so the only additional
cost was the concrete, rebar, guy wires, and miscellaneous
hardware. It was not that difficult to build, took us
about 4 days, mainly due to the over 100 degree heat.
Total investment was less than $2.5k. If you need any
help with how to build one, what parts to buy, want to see
pictures of ours going up, etc., just email me offline ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
and I will be happy to help.

[smartBridges] Towers
I was wonder what everyone is
doing for towers? I have high trees in my area, 70
foot high in some cases. I'm running off a radio
station tower now, but what other options are there?
I have found a 100 foot telescoping tower for like $3,200
bucks, but you need a crane and a big ass crew just to get
the thing up, not to mention the guy wires.
Anyone have any
suggestions?
Dennis
