Antenna
Masts
Here is an idea the OH-5
team
uses. In looking
for a
good
portable extension mast that would not take up much room, we found a
great
fit. We found that Lowes builders supply had magnesium extension
handles
for trowling and painting. These pieces were found in two sizes, 1 inch
by 5 foot and 1.5 inch by 6 foot. They screw together regardless of
size,
are sturdy, and extend to as many pieces as you wish to screw together.
We use two 6 footers and one 5 footer screwed together to make a nice
17
foot antenna mast. Cost is under $20 a section.

circuit time
out problems
Some
cellular data
systems
fail
during peak use
times
due
to built in time out of the data system should no data be transfered
over
a period of time. Try seting up a ping to a known good IP address and
use
the -t switch to activate repetitive pings. This should
help
keep the cellular circuit alive for your data use. Use the
following format:
ping www.url.com -t

NTIA
Standards
The NTIA has
upgraded
specifications
for all radios
used
on government bands. Recently FEMA has mandated all participants
in SHARES on FEMA frequencies will comply with NTIA
specifications.
Below you will find resources to help with understanding the new
requirements
and in determining whether your equipment meets the new NTIA standards.

Long Distance Phone Calls
NDMS allows $3 per day for
personal
calls. At standard
long
distance and calling card rates, you won't get much time on the line at
that rate. However, there are companies that allow prepaid long
distance
calling at 2.9 cents a minute. That means for $3 a day you would get
over
an hour and a half calling time! Try One
Suite, one of these companies. You also get online tracking of
all of your calls. The system works just like a calling card, but you
can
recharge the card online. Found this one courtesy of Clark Howard.
Power Distribution
West Mountain Radio has
developed
several nice DC power
distribution
devices using the Power Pole connector technology. This system is
fused and has LED lights that indicate a blown fuse. West Mountain can
