I'm curious what's really holding up the FCC on the issue.

So am I. It's nine months since the official close of
Comments on the NPRM.

Nine months? Gestation almost complete? "Birth" of an R&O
soon? :-)

That actually scares me. Recall the one that was so poorly written in
1998?

R&O poorly written or NPRM

That's just the thing. They didn't know what it was. It was a R&O
advertised as an NPRM.

ah well at least I have my rotos will make eme easier and satelite ops
a lot easier when the thing the g-5500 is a realy weaird spend about an
hour half assembling the unit will alow fo r pointing at full sky have
not picked out an computer interface yet figured get the thing on the
tower and set up and then worry about that

I was thinking about putting a 2m/440 beam up for satellite, but I
don't want to spend the bucks on an az/el and interface controller.
Instead, I thought about putting them on a mast bent 30 to 45 degrees.
With a beamwidth of 30 deg, it should pick up everything except a
direct overhead pass. No cable wrap.
I have used something like that but not had the best of luck

In my case I using about 10 percent on the money from a selective cut
of my forest and I decided that it a good use for it and not going over
board

Timber or pulp?
timber mostly indeed most of the wood has been veneer grade one tree
was sold at the mill for 1000, bucks (I get half) he is about 3/8th
through the woods
