This is correct. Aircraft is at most 10% recycled air. They have HEPA filters 
for the recycled air. 

Turning the nozzle on above you and blowing it over you actually creates a

 It still after several weeks looks way overblown. It's beginning to 
 look like the trench/squat toilets common in China (and not most other 
 places) is the major disease vector.
 
 Total cases in the US is only 35 individuals, and ZERO deaths.
 
 Contrast this to the latest US-only flu data, with 29 million 
 infections and 16,000 deaths. I think we are paying attention to the 
 wrong things  (so what's new about that?).

Is anyone here an NTCA member?

If so, have you taken advantage of their retirement and health insurance

Why would a wisp is wet invest in stocks?

Because $100,000 invested carefully in the stock market makes $5,000/week. 

That grows exponentially with little work.

Sprinkle around. 

Some in the main stock market, mid cap, large cap and small cap. Then 
international developed and emerging markets. 

Sprinkle it around and the return is amazing. 

I’ve thrown money into the stock market, let it sit for a month or two, then 
taken out the proceeds to buy a new piece of equipment. 

My wisp was also 0 debt funded for start by the stock market.

It’s about a 20 day boat trip. And even if it comes by air it will sit at the 
distributor for a bit. Then a few days in transit to you. 

We will probably quarantine Chinese stock for a week or two just to be safe. 

I’m more worried about the local out breaks and stock shortages than 
contamination of stock.

The entire idea behind traditional retirement is living off the proceeds of 
your stock investments. 

It’s really not that hard if you plan properly. 

No one has to believe anything I say.  

But we aren’t hurting for cash and business is booming faster than we can keep 
up right now.   I know how we got there, whether anyone believes me when I tell

2020-02-29 Thread Matt Hoppes
Correct. You’ve got to watch your money and buy and sell properly. 

Stock market has tow approaches:

Set and forget - and in the long run you’ll make money. 

Or buy and sell often and aggressively make more money if you do it right (or 
lose a lot of money) if you do it wrong. 

I was talking to one of our own who is no longer in the industry, the other 
day, who told me he made around $500 in about 15 minutes of the stock market 
opening doing his day trading.

I’m not panicking yet. 

I’m *probably* attending the show. We’ll see where things end up in two weeks. 

I’m seriously considering bowing out of MuM and an event the month after at 
this point though. We shall see. 

Remember the lily pad problem:

A single lily pad is on a pond and the number double every day. In 28 days the 
entire pond will be covered. It’s on day 27 that only half the pond is covered. 
Days 1-26 look pretty calm.

Close to 60 days since Wuhan broke out. 

It’s gaining steam here in the U.S. 

There’s about a 14 day incubation period and some people can be asymptomatic 
which means they are silent spreaders. 

This means by the time we hear of deaths, the disease is already well infected 
that area. There is a severe lag here because of the way this virus works:

Day 1-14: Incubation
Day 15-21: Cold Like Symptoms
Days 22-30: Severe Symptoms (if they are going to develop)
Followed by death. 

By that point the infected has had at least 14 days or longer to infect other 
people. 

In some cases symptoms have improved for the infected only to then take a 
serious dive down and result in death.

What does China know that the rest of us don’t? Why are they shutting 
down their economy for over a month for “the flu”? This may be exactly 
what they know:


https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1002/jmv.25728

From the concluding paragraph:

Since SARS-CoV2 may conceal itself in the neurons from the immune 
recognition, complete clearance of the virus may not be guaranteed even 
the patients have recovered from the acute infection.


If you get infected, the virus might be stuck lurking inside you for 
LIFE! And it can leak out and get you sick again just like shingles.


Here’s another bombshell from the study quietly slipped in there:

In light of the high similarity between SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV2, it is 
quite likely that the potential neuroinvason of SARS-CoV-2 plays an 
important role in the acute respiratory failure of COVID-19 patients. 
According to the complaints of a survivor, the medical graduate student 
(24 years old) from Wuhan University, she must stay awake and breathe 
consciously and actively during the intensive care. She said that if she 
fell asleep, she might die because she had lost her natural breath.


That’s right, you may have to manually and consciously breathe due to 
the effect of the virus on your brain neurons.


This isn’t the flu folks. It’s time to wake up, pay attention to what’s 
going on around you, and prepare to potentially not leave your home for 
2-4 months.

China didn't make a hospital in 6 days, they made a concentration camp. 
 A place for folks to go to die.   There was limited medical care 
there just large open areas where people who were infected went to 
continually infect each other.

People were very impressed about China slapping up a hospital in 6 days, 
but it was just prefab buildings on a slab.


Fun timelapse: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53nhErXUd9A 



The Army Corps of Engineers can do that too.  It won't look the same as 
the Chinese one, but it will be a temporary rapid deployment building.


In the 1918 pandemic they took over schools, gymnasiums, large private 
houses, etc.  They also put a lot of patients into "open air 
hospitals".  AKA tents.


Article from NIH about 1918:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4504358/

A fun quote from above article:

"""Early in October 1918, a delegate from a health department in the US 
Midwest went east to find out how best to combat the infection. 
Officials there offered the following advice:


When you get back home, hunt up your wood-workers and cabinet-makers
and set them to making coffins. Then take your street laborers and
set them to digging graves. If you do this you will not have your
dead accumulating faster than you can dispose of them.^12
 ^(p787)

This was not meant to cause undue alarm; it was merely a practical 
solution to a problem that had to be addressed once the pandemic arrived."""

Agreed.

We should have shut down our borders 3 months ago when this first broke 
out in China... immediately.  No in or outbound travel of any sort.


Instead, we continued to allow folks to come and go as they pleased... 
finally shutting down travel to China, but continuing to allow travel to 
our nations, that are now infected.


How stupid are we to think that blocking travel to just China would fix 
the issue?  That folks in China wouldn't contaminate folks in other 
countries who would then be the route to the US?


We need to immediately quarantine every state, if not town in the US, 
and hold that quarantine for 60-90 days.   No coming or going from the 
town.   Work from home.


Yes, maybe it's "no bad yet", but why do we need to wait for it to get 
bad before we do something?


Here in the US we continually shut the barn door after the horse has 
gone through.  Often we shut a door specific for a kind of horse after 
that horse has gone through, allowing other horses to continue to get 
through.

There is a lot of bad information flying around here. 

An N95 or N100 mask absolutely will protect you from the virus IF WORN 
CORRECTLY. 

The majority of America won’t. 

For it to work properly:
It must be 100% air tight. When you exhale you should not feel air moving out 
the sides. 

There should be no facial hair. It should be tight around your nose. For best 
results run duct tape between the mask and your face. 

Additionally, air tight goggles are helpful depending on your situation. 

And of course, when removing the mask it must be removed without contamination 
of the face and the hands must then be decontaminated.

There are now two version of the virus:

S-Cov and L-Cov.

L-Cov is what is believed to have gone through Wuhan and is extremely fatal.

S-Cov is less fatal.

What is here in the U.S. is unknown at this point.

So...

Costco here looks like a prepper warehouse.   The entire back wall is 
paper towels/toilet paper which is pretty typical, although it has also 
spilled down both sides of the warehouse and all the empty spots seem to 
have a case of paper towels or toilet paper in it.  I'm guessing someone 
at costco corporate figured this out months ago and has started sending 
this stuff to all the warehouses.   We've just avoided the hysteria so 
far, but all it's going to take is a few cases in montana and I'm sure 
that they will sell all of this and more.


Still plenty of water everywhere.   Safeway even had a 'must buy 3 to 
get the deal' special on water at the front door with a big pile of water.


The only thing which is completely sold out everywhere is hand sanitizer.

More people being tested means two things:

1) the death rate goes way down
2) the death rate goes way up, because we currently have folks dying of

2020-03-11 Thread Matt Hoppes
Attending the conference sends a strong message that we are selfish and 
don't care about anyone but ourselves.


 We have a duty to social distance now - for our elderly, for your 
healthcare providers, for every neighbor who may need a hospital bed. 
Doing your part to slow the spread is showing love and respect to us all.


A key reason to social distance now is to flatten out the peak of the 
pandemic. If we all get sick at the same time, many more die. Italy 
shows nearly 50 percent of cases needing hospitalization. We have to 
slow this down enough to allow any that get it to have a decent shot at 
a hospital bed and care. Not just that! We must slow it down so that any 
of our neighbors with ANY ailment has a hospital bed available. Those 
other ailments don't stop just because of this pandemic.


The longer we can slow the spread, the more we learn about what works 
against it. It's more time to get drugs and treatments. More time to 
potential develope a vaccine. This may become an endemic and we are not 
going to isolate forever. There may be a time when we all go out, but 
bow instead of shaking hands. Maybe wearing masks or gloves.


We will find a way to be the free, fearless people we want to be. But 
first we must slow the exponential growth, support our healthcare 
providers by giving them less patients at once, support our neighbors 
when they have milder cases at home, and respect one another by doing 
our part to avoid spreading this virus.


Please consider what you can do to show everyone love and respect by 
being cautious. No matter the personal risk to you, your neighbor needs 
you.

Re: [AFMUG] [WISPA Members] [WISPA] COVID-19 and WISPAmerica

2020-03-11 Thread Matt Hoppes
"Almost all of our attendees and vendors are interested in continuing 
the show, which means the show will go on. We have made significant 
financial and operational commitments in reliance on attendee which has 
not waned. Out of an abundance of caution we have put in place many 
safety protocols to minimize the likelihood of COVID-19 and/or other 
infectious disease transmission.


Since the show is continuing, we must stick to our stated policies of 
not offering refunds. We have already made financial and operational 
commitments in reliance on your participation in the show, and that 
means we have to stick to our policies. I hope you can understand."



INTERPRETATION:  WISPA can not cancel this show no matter what, because 
we need the income to pay for the show, which is already reserved.We 
most likely don't have event insurance either.  So while we understand 
your concerns, we are extremely sorry but there's just no way we can 
refund your money and we are going to expose everyone who comes to an 
ever increasing risk.   Please understand, money comes before safety.

Re: [AFMUG] are liquor stores essential? pot stores?

2020-03-22 Thread Matt Hoppes
Liquor Stores are essential because if you cut off alcohol from 
alcoholics they can experience severe medical issues.


On 3/22/20 3:02 PM, Ken Hohhof wrote:
I noticed in the Illinois governor’s order, pot stores are essential and

deemed essential and can stay open.


The city of Aurora here in Illinois is allowing restaurants to sell 
package liquor with takeout or delivery food orders of at least $10.  
That kinda makes sense.  So you can get a six pack with your pizza.  I’m 
also noticing restaurants that never had delivery, takeout or drivethru 
getting creative about curbside pickup.  Typically call from your 
cellphone when you get there and they bring your order out to you.

Regarding the China numbers... there are 3 Chinese mobile telephone 
companies, all owned by the government.


In February, they reported a TOTAL (all 3) loss of 10 million + lines.
Now, you can attribute some of those to job loss... but not all of them.

Deaths?  I suspect the death count in China is massively underreported.

That’s a rather. Uhhh. Large range.

Re: [AFMUG] Market saturation

2020-04-15 Thread Matt Hoppes

That also is what we have found.

I was actually going to say 35% take rate -- but since I've gotten shot 
down on previous e-mails where I've sent out "crazy" and "ridiculous" 
statistics, I figured I'd send the higher end of the spectrum :)

I second the 50% rate. Probably 35% if you have some other competition

enough neighbor referrals that anything other than a yard sign would be 
a waste.

[AFMUG] COVID liability

As we look to reopen our operations, the one thing that remains is liability. 

How are you all addressing the liability if either your tech gets someone sick 
(and they die), or someone gets your tech sick (and now you have a potential 
OSHA issue on your hands.

Re: [AFMUG] COVID liability

2020-05-10 Thread Matt Hoppes

Just gettting back to this thread now.

I would absolutely rush out and get it right now IF:

A) I knew for a fact that the antibodies would keep me immune to it 
going forward

B) I knew for a fact there were no long term issues (think Polio)

I'm  not convinced of either of those things, yet... and am waiting on 
folks more smart than myself.

the fall when it resources (again, matt and the talking heads have 
guaranteed this) are taxed due to flu season, and survivability drops.
 From day one I've said infection centers would be the absolute best 
tool to fight this thing. The younger, healthier, medically screened 
people go and get infected, and start treatment immediately. Its 
effectively the same thing as vaccination with a few more steps.
Morons say "well we dont know that getting it will make you immune" 
which is fine and good, maybe it's not like 99 percent of other viruses. 
But guess what that means. It means that there will never be a vaccine 
since that's what vaccines to (make your body think you've had the 
disease). Matt and the talking heads cannot have it both ways, science 
doesnt allow it.


I'm in the same boat though, I want to maximize the time with my kids. I 
have this new fresh one that's still just a lump of dough, I'd like to 
get to know what he cooks into. But I wont do this teaching these little 
bastards to cower in the corner because the government says to, 
especially when the governments demands dont match the so called science 
they're basing it on. And the little dough ball isnt developing an 
immune system, he will be that pale gray sickly kid with a doctors note

I really could use some more spectrum in that band for the 900mhz AP's 
that I do have., 6 more mhz would mean we could run ABAB on sites with 
15mhz channel widths which would be beneficial.

Right. But in an airplane throttle also makes you go up. 

In fact:

Up/down is basically controlled by throttle 
While
Speed is controlled by elevators. 

Slow down?  Pull up
Speed up? Push down

Go up?  Throttle up
Go down? Throttle down

Re: [AFMUG] CBRS reliable now?

What happens when the cellco fires up their gear?  Do you get asked to 
move and move gracefully?  Or do you have to do some kind of manual 
intervention?


How is the 450i/Medusa through trees?

Re: [AFMUG] RV Park Fiber

2020-06-11 Thread Matt Hoppes
Why are you doing fiber?

We have a 300 unit RV park where everyone is required to stream over the 
Internet, no satellite dishes are allowed.

It works absolutely fine and everything is back hauled wirelessly to the 
sectors that cover several RV campers.

OTARD does not apply to someone else’s property. Normally the satellite dishes 
are not mounted on your RV they are mounted on the land belonging to the camp 
owner.

And 0TARD does not apply to commercial environments which a campground is.

I don’t get your question. 

They can come in. Pay for a space. Stay the night and buy WiFi. 

What is the issue?

I’m still confused. What’s the issue?

Tractor paying for night. In spot. Paying for WiFi.

Hotspots are also restricted.

It’s not a matter of what’s legal or not via OTARD. No one comes into this not 
being aware of what the rules are. Nothing preclude a private contract from 
prohibiting someone from using a satellite antenna, you can agree or not agree 
to the contract.

I suppose if one of the campers wanted to fight it they probably could. We just 
provide the Wi-Fi the campsite makes the rules.

[AFMUG] Mounting antenna to a flat ribed metal roof

2020-06-13 Thread Matt Hoppes
I need to mount a small antenna to the rooftop of a building. 

The roof is flat metal, but it has 6” high ribs every 3 ft. 

_/\_/\_/\__


Any ideas on how to mount to this/non pen it?
