Mike, Where are you reading this on page 43?
And I've made it farther back in the report... Is Appendix B (Final Rules) the actual rule? That doesn't look good, see Antenna Requirements on page 101. Not only is the transmit antenna limited to 30 meters high, but the receive antenna must be 10 m high. Sounds like a single story ranch house is going to need a mast. That won't be popular. Also, it sounds like a yagi isn't acceptable as a receive antenna: "The antenna system shall be capable of receiving signals of protected services equally in all directions." Sounds like an omni to me. I hope I'm reading this wrong! -John On Nov 19, 2008, at 1:48 PM, Mike Hammett wrote: > There previously was some discussion about a 10 meter antenna height > requirement in the TVWS. > > I'm only on page 43 of the report, but on this page it states that > the FCC doesn't see a need for either a height or an outdoor > requirement, only a 40 cm distance away from people.
