Dear Friends of Wireless Messaging,

For the past two or three months I have been asking friends, colleagues, advertisers, and supporters of the newsletter what I could do to improve it.

Advertising has dropped significantly. As you will notice, some major vendors and service providers are conspicuous by their absence. That is partly because I have refused to be bullied by some of them and have refused to reveal sources of inside information to others. In my mind, it was about maintaining editorial integrity.

So we have been discussing if and how the newsletter should continue. The first step came last week when I asked readers to vote on whether the newsletter should remain weekly or become bi-weekly (every other week). Following are the results of that informal survey:

Reader Survey

This is how our readers have voted:

A couple of readers thought “bi-weekly” meant “twice-a-week” so I looked it up in the dictionary, and found that indeed it can mean twice-a-week or twice-a-month. I guess I should have said, every other week. Anyway, the twice-a-week responses were not included in the percentages above.

So, it looks like we will be going to a complete newsletter every other week. During the “off week” I will be sending out news bulletins anytime I find some news that is time sensitive. The News Bulletin will be much shorter than the Newsletter but will still contain a section featuring each advertiser. I hope this will keep everyone happy.

It was good that several of the reader-responses included comments of appreciation and encouragement to keep the newsletter going.

The main issue here is reader satisfaction — reducing the number of issues will allow me to stay more focused on news that is really pertinent to our industry. I don't mind collecting and editing the news — I do it daily, and whether I send the results to you every week or every other week, will not make much difference to me.

Of course, the other issue of financial support remains. This newsletter is an independent business, and as such should provide a reasonable income for the effort and resources required for its production. Unfortunately that income has dropped to about ½ of what it was just two years ago. It is no surprise when considering the decline of our whole industry. The big question now is:

Is the newsletter satisfying a need for information worthy of the support of its readers and the suppliers of wireless messaging products and services?

So, we will see how it goes. Now you know the new plan.

Now on to more news and views.

Canton Woman Arrested for Stealing Nearly $50,000 from Premier Paging and Wireless Inc of Morley

Reported by: Holly Boname
Jan. 13, 2012

A year long investigation has revealed that a St. Lawrence County woman, over the course of a year, stole approximately $50,000 from her employer.

Angela L. McCormick, 35, of 145 Janes Road in Canton, has been arrested for Grand Larceny in the 3^rd degree and Falsifying Business Records in the 1^st degree.

The investigation revealed that from January 2008 to September 2009, McCormick stole funds totaling between $40,000 to $50,000 from Premier Paging and Wireless Inc of Morley.

It is alleged that McCormick created Paypal accounts to double pay herself and wrote company checks to herself for personal gain, changing the accounting books to show those payments were made to regular vendors of the company.

McCormick was brought before Canton Justice Storie and released to the Supervision of the St. Lawrence County Probation Department.

Man convicted of killing Brookfield businessman

By Mike Johnson of the Journal Sentinel
Jan. 11, 2012

Waukesha — A Milwaukee man was found guilty Wednesday of first-degree reckless homicide in the June killing of Brookfield businessman John Aegerter.

Tommy V. Douyette, 42, savagely beat Aegerter because Lynn M. Hajny had asked him to hurt Aegerter, court records state.

The two had gone to Aegerter's home June 21 to confront him because he reportedly owed money to Hajny's husband, Albert, who at one time was employed by Aegerter, according to the criminal complaint filed in the case. Douyette was described in the complaint as Lynn Hajny's boyfriend.

Douyette had been charged with first-degree intentional homicide as party to a crime, but the charge was reduced as part of a plea agreement that avoids a trial in Douyette's case. His trial had been scheduled for Jan. 30.

Assistant District Attorney Jennifer Lough said as part of the agreement, she will recommend that Douyette be sentenced to 35 years in prison and 15 years of extended supervision.

But Waukesha County Circuit Judge Patrick C. Haughney told Douyette Wednesday that he does not have to follow the recommendation. Haughney said he could sentence Douyette to the maximum 40 years in prison and 20 years of extended supervision that the first-degree reckless homicide conviction carries.

Had Douyette been convicted of first-degree intentional homicide, he would have been sentenced to life in prison.

The plea bargain requires Douyette to testify at Hajny's trial, now scheduled to begin May 7. Hajny, 49, of New Berlin, is charged with first-degree intentional homicide as party to a crime.

Lough said prosecutors and investigators have extensively debriefed Douyette about the homicide, have recorded multiple interviews with him and verified statements he made during those sessions.

During a separate hearing on Wednesday, Hajny's attorney, Michael F. Hart, told Haughney that Hajny has a long history of mental health treatment. Hart said he might pursue a mental health disease defense on her behalf and is seeking to have her evaluated. After that evaluation, Hart would decide whether to enter a plea of not guilty by reason of insanity.

The next hearing in her case is set for Feb. 14.

Douyette will not be sentenced until after Hajny's case is resolved. His sentencing tentatively is set for May 23.

Aegerter's body was discovered face down in his garage by Brookfield police at 9:55 a.m. June 22 after officers were asked by one of his employees to go to his home and check on him because he had not shown up for work.

He had been beaten and bound, his face wrapped in duct tape and plastic grocery bags placed over his head. His ankles were tied with a black electrical cord, and a white electrical cord was around his neck, according to the complaint.

Douyette admitted to police that he had struck Aegerter about nine times with his bare hands, the complaint says.

Court records indicate that Hajny's cousin called police June 22 and told them Hajny had telephoned her and told her she had killed someone. Sometime after that call, Hajny and Douyette showed up at the woman's Slinger home, court records state.

Slinger police arrested the pair.

When the suspects were taken into custody, investigators found Aegerter's wallet, credit card and keys in Hajny's purse. One key ring was found in a towel with blood on it, the complaint says.

Both suspects also had blood drops on their shoes, and a shirt of Douyette's was found covered in blood, the complaint says.

Prosecutors plan to use DNA evidence during Hajny's trial, Lough said.

Aegerter, who lived alone, owned communications companies and several communication towers that transmit cellphone, pager and two-way business radio signals.

HARK—EXHIBITS AT THE
NASHVILLE CONFERENCE

David George and Bill Noyes
of Hark Technologies.

Selected portions of the BloostonLaw Telecom Update, a newsletter from the Law Offices of Blooston, Mordkofsky, Dickens, Duffy & Prendergast, LLP are reproduced in this section with the firm's permission.

BloostonLaw Clients Seek Recon of New Tower Rules
BloostonLaw, on behalf of numerous clients, has asked the FCC to reconsider its Order on Remand, in which it took procedural measures to ensure that the environmental effects of proposed communications towers, including their effects on migratory birds, are fully considered prior to construction (BloostonLaw Telecom Update, December 14, 2011). BloostonLaw and its clients submit that:

(1) the FCC should have adopted a safe-harbor exemption from the new notice and protest requirements for antenna structures 350 feet or below above ground level;
(2) the local notice requirement goes beyond the scope of national notice endorsed by the Court in American Bird Conservancy, and would place an unnecessary and undue regulatory burden on small businesses; and
(3) the FCC should have adopted a “shot clock” to make sure tower proposals are processed in a timely fashion.

The interim rules stem from the decision in American Bird Conservancy v. FCC by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit that requires the FCC to consider the impact of antenna towers on migratory birds. As part of this process, the FCC will require proponents of antenna structures to publish a notice in a local newspaper of general circulation (or otherwise follow the local zoning notification processes) regarding the proposed construction or alteration of the antenna structure. Additionally, following the local notice, the proposal will have to be posted on the FCC's website for a period of 30 days in order to allow unknown third parties the opportunity to request that the FCC require you to file an Environmental Assessment prior to the submission of an application for Antenna Structure Registration. The potential impact of these rules is significant delay and expense if a Request for Environmental Assessment is filed — regardless of how frivolous the request might be.

9th CIRCUIT AFFIRMS RULING THAT TELCOs ARE IMMUNE FROM LAWSUITS WHEN ASSISTING GOVERNMENT WITH SURVEILLANCE: The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco has affirmed a lower court ruling that telecommunications companies participating in government anti-terrorist activities are immune from lawsuits. In the case, In re: National Security Agency Telecommunications Records Litigation, Joe McMurray and other residential telephone and Internet customers had challenged Section 802 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) as an unconstitutional “taking” under the Fifth Amendment. Section 802 allows the U.S. Attorney General to certify that a telecommunications company provided assistance at the behest of the government in connection with investigation of terrorism, thereby triggering immunity from suit for that company. The 9th Circuit affirmed the district court’s dismissal of McMurray’s Takings Clause claim for lack of jurisdiction.

McMurray’s appeal stemmed from his and various other complaints filed in the wake of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks when the National Security Agency (NSA) obtained assistance from telecommunications companies to conduct electronic surveillance. The suits purportedly prompted Congress to pass the FISA Amendments, which included Section 802, in 2008. The district court dismissed the complaint on three grounds:

(1) the court lacked jurisdiction to address the merits of the takings claim because Congress has provided means for paying compensation for any taking that might have occurred;
(2) a Takings Clause claim would not in any event lie against the telecommunications companies because they are not governmental entities and therefore cannot engage in a taking; and
(3) McMurray has no constitutionally-protected property right in his alleged cause of action because it is well-established that no property right vests in a cause of action until a final, un-reviewable judgment is obtained.

The 9th Circuit said that “although McMurray’s Takings Clause claim is a novel approach to application of Section 802, ultimately it is misguided.” The Court said that the Takings Clause provides that “private property [shall not] be taken for public use, without just compensation.” In this suit McMurray seeks equitable relief rather than damages. However, the Court noted, as the Supreme Court wrote in Ruckelshaus v. Monsanto Company, under the Takings Clause, “Equitable relief is not available to enjoin an alleged taking of private property for a public use, duly authorized by law, when a suit for compensation can be brought against the sovereign subsequent to the taking.” McMurray failed to seek just compensation from the Court of Federal Claims, and this failure was fatal to his case, the 9th Circuit said. It added that “because a compensation remedy is available, any taking that may have occurred simply cannot violate the Takings Clause.”

FCC ADOPTS RULES TO EASE PATH FOR EAS PARTICIPANTS TO RECEIVE CAP-FORMATTED MESSAGES: The FCC has adopted an order addressing the requirement that Emergency Alert System (EAS) Participants to be able to receive Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) messages. This will enable EAS Participants not only to receive CAP-formatted alert messages, but also to redistribute those messages in the legacy EAS format over the current broadcast-based EAS. Specifically, CAP-formatted EAS alerts: (i) will be converted into and processed in the same way as messages formatted in the EAS Protocol; and (ii) will be used to generate enhanced visual displays for the viewers of the EAS station processing the CAP message. The FCC took the following actions:

• Required EAS Participants to be able to convert CAP-formatted EAS messages into messages that comply with the EAS Protocol requirements, following the procedures for such conversion set forth in the EAS-CAP Industry Group’s (ECIG’s) ECIG Implementation Guide.
• Required EAS Participants to monitor the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA’s) Integrated Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS) system for federal CAP-formatted alert messages using whatever interface technology is appropriate.
• Permitted, with certain limitations, EAS Participants to use intermediary devices to meet their CAP-related obligations.
• Required EAS Participants to use the enhanced text in CAP messages to meet the video display requirements.
• Adopted streamlined procedures for equipment certification that take into account standards and testing procedures adopted by FEMA.
• Eliminated, as unnecessary, the requirement that EAS Participants receive and transmit CAP-formatted messages initiated by state governors.
• Streamlined the rules governing the processing of Emergency Action Notifications (EAN) and eliminated as unnecessary several provisions in Part 11, such as the Emergency Action Termination (EAT) event code and the Non-Participating National (NN) status.

Wanted to thank you for the news letter every week.  In this week's letter you talked about Mototrbo and DMR.  Commercial digital radios are getting in the world of VHS vs. Bata Max or HD DVD vs. Blu-ray... There is another protocol that is out there supported by Kenwood radio and Icom radio. It is NXDN ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NXDN ) a true 6.2 5 kHz radio protocol.

The main difference between the two is: DMR is a TDMA operating in 12.5 kHz bandwidth splitting the 12.5 into 6.25 time slots with Part 90 FCC acceptability. NXDN is 6.25 kHz and FCC ID as such with part 90 and 74 acceptance. On NXDN Conventional radio operations either radio company (Kenwood & Icom) work seamless together but trunking is where they differ. Kenwood NXDN trunking operates with a control channel" style trunking like P25 trunking. Icom uses a "Home Channel" style trunking like LTR.

For companies that are changing out their old 25 kHz wideband radios changing to Trbo meets the FCC 2013 Narrowband mandate for Part 90 conventional but currently won't meet the upcoming, date not set, Narrow-Narrow band to 6.25 khz in rumor 2017-2019 time frame. Which means that Trbo users will have to either replace the unit again or if there is a software "Flash" to change the FCC FM Modulation to 6.25 — assuming the hardware in the radio can do it.

Anyway, Thanks for all you do,

Carter

Hi Brad,

Once a fortnight is OK with me in Australia, thank goodness for your news, we get nothing in Oz (that I can find ).

A question without notice, do you have any reference sites in relation to Antennae construction for VHF paging 148-149 MHz, interested in other people view of size of coaxial from TX to antenna (I always try to keep them as short as possible) in relation to power out from TX to antenna, (5w, 25w 100w) normally used RF Industries SMD-2 side-mount dipole or a hi db gain collinear if to penetrate a wide area, and yes no two sites are the same. Coaxial used are RG-213 / Heliax LDF-450 depending on power out / antenna type / coverage / distance from TX to Antenna.

Cheers from beautiful Redcliffe in SE Queensland, and we have corrupt Premiers of Queensland also.

Heart Attack Warning Signs & Symptoms

Early Warning Signs
The average heart attack sufferer gets to the hospital almost five hours after the onset of symptoms. This delay significantly increases their chances of dying. That's why it's so important to know the warning signs of a heart attack and what to do if you experience them. Being educated could save your life.

Common Warning Signs
Knowing these common warning signs of a heart attack could help save your life:

• Chest pressure, tightness, and heaviness
• Pain in shoulders, neck, jaw, or arms
• Lightheadedness
• Fainting
• Paleness
• Sweating
• Nausea
• Shortness of breath with or without chest pain

Take Action
If you experience any of these symptoms, call 911 immediately. Then, chew or crush and swallow an aspirin as directed by a doctor. Taking aspirin immediately at the onset of heart attack symptoms may prevent the formation of additional small blood clots blocking blood flow through clogged arteries. If that happens, heart muscle damage may be prevented or delayed, which can buy you time to get to the hospital.

Never make excuses for heart attack symptoms or shrug them off as simply "indigestion." Even if you're not sure it's a heart attack, don't hesitate to get help. The actions you take within the first hours after a heart attack could save your life so never feel like you're creating a false alarm.
