| 17:51.06 | jlp_znc | ~seen pashdown |
| 17:51.07 | infobot | pashdown is currently on #utah, last said: 'shalkie because you need to read your bible to beat this pandemic'. |
| 17:51.21 | pashdown | you rang |
| 17:52.06 | jlp_znc | hey, pete. some dudes on the ham radio slack have been talking about looking for colo space for a few systems to support hamstudy.org. |
| 17:52.17 | jlp_znc | there was a question on if xmission might provide a discount |
| 17:52.48 | pashdown | 1U colo? |
| 17:53.03 | jlp_znc | stand by... |
| 17:54.30 | jlp_znc | looks like 5-6 U |
| 17:54.34 | pashdown | oof |
| 17:54.51 | pashdown | we do a standard $50/month for any non-profit. it can be applied to anything. |
| 17:55.15 | pashdown | you'd have to talk to sales via our chat/phone/email to get a price |
| 17:55.19 | jlp_znc | so that's a $50/month discount off the regular price? |
| 17:55.22 | pashdown | aye |
| 17:55.45 | jlp_znc | I think the number he was quoted was $399/mo for a half rack... does that sound right? |
| 17:56.24 | taxilian | unfortunately it's not a full non-profit. most of what we do (I run hamstudy.org) is effectively nonprofit, but I also have for-profit ventures that provide funding for those |
| 17:56.25 | pashdown | in the area |
| 17:56.38 | taxilian | that was a third rack price |
| 17:56.38 | pashdown | i can authorize the discount |
| 17:56.57 | pashdown | there is also open rack pricing if you don't care about security inside the datacenter |
| 17:57.23 | jlp_znc | taxilian: are you kd7bbc, then? |
| 17:57.33 | taxilian | the main advantage to using a third rack would be that I could potentially find someone to help split the costs, since I don't need the full space, but the open rack price was cheaper |
| 17:57.38 | taxilian | yes, I'm kd7bbc |
| 17:57.46 | jlp_znc | okay, my job here is done. :D |
| 17:57.49 | pashdown | also, do you guys own the shack up on ensign? |
| 17:58.23 | taxilian | I don't have anything on ensign peak, but the VHF society might. I do work on some mountain-top repeaters, but the ones I do are in Utah County |
| 17:58.45 | pashdown | if you have a contact, maybe we can do a swap. i need to get out of the city's site. |
| 17:58.59 | pashdown | they've been really hard to deal with lately |
| 17:59.20 | pashdown | or any other shacks around the peaks of the city |
| 17:59.39 | taxilian | I usually know someone who knows someone, but mountain-top access of any kind can be difficult. what exactly are you needing to put there? |
| 17:59.56 | pashdown | some ubiquiti gear |
| 18:00.26 | taxilian | you looking for a place for a wireless dish? |
| 18:00.46 | taxilian | youtah do you know if any of the mesh guys have anything up there? |
| 18:00.53 | pashdown | aye. we have some with the city's location now. i'm looking to move them. |
| 18:01.19 | pashdown | i've been trying to get a site visit for the past two weeks and they can't decide whether to let me. |
| 18:01.27 | taxilian | my resources around SL valley are thin, but I can definitely ask around â regardless of anything I do with the colo stuff |
| 18:01.27 | jlp_znc | I don't think the mesh guys have anything there yet... we're trying to work a deal to get some space on a tower in the middle of murray for some mesh gear (for our club) |
| 18:01.30 | pashdown | they also insist on escorting me |
| 18:01.51 | pashdown | too bad they tore down the smokestack!! |
| 18:01.54 | taxilian | heh. yeah, mountaintops are getting harder and harder to deal with |
| 18:02.17 | jlp_znc | there's about a 250 foot tower right next to the murray city animal control building that we're angling for. |
| 18:03.30 | pashdown | nice. i need to hit downtown/aves/university though. |
| 18:04.08 | pashdown | but i'll still throw you guys a discount on colocation if you want it. if you can find me something on the north side of the valley, i'll give you a 3rd cabinet in exchange. |
| 18:04.19 | jlp_znc | https://photos.app.goo.gl/Gk39zps52DRxgXyR8 |
| 18:04.56 | taxilian | the best I think I can manage would be a contact; I'll send out some feelers and see what I can find. |
| 18:05.45 | taxilian | on the discount; while my main purpose is to have a place to put the servers for hamstudy.org/examtools.org, I do have other things on there more or less to effectively use the hardware. Are there any restrictions or criteria that I should know about? |
| 18:27.26 | pashdown | not really |
| 18:28.53 | pashdown | xmission is known for not caring about how you use the internet. if you want to host an org and get the discount, but pay for the rest, it is fine by me. |
| 18:29.50 | taxilian | I appreciate it. I'm not planning to abuse that, but wanted to make sure =] I will likely take you up on that. one of my servers is currently at xmission in GradeCam's rack (I'm the main contact for that) but for security audit reasons I'll likely have to move it |
| 18:30.03 | taxilian | how do I use that? just tell them that you said I could have it when I sign up? |

| 18:50.39 | taxilian | pashdown: word on the street is that Utah Comm has a building up there. Mike Miller is the owner. Do you want me to do more legwork or would you rather take it from there? |
| 18:51.28 | pashdown | yes, reference me. if you can email me mike miller's info, i'd appreciate it. |
| 18:53.28 | taxilian | I'll see what I can manage |
| 18:53.50 | taxilian | can you give me any specifics on what you want to mount? how many dishes, rough size? |
