VOTE: Board Director Elections - Cory Johnson
by Cory (NQ1E) 28 Mar '18

28 Mar '18

If the votes remain in my favor, I will continue my tenure on the board. :) I want to thank Doug for stepping up as well. Having worked with him on both PSRG and Seattle ACS, I know for a fact that he will be a valuable addition to the board. In a seemingly futile effort to minimize these annual email storms, I'm going to include my votes here. I'll also be preemptively voting for our other two incumbent officers should they choose to run again. Cory's votes: Nigel Vander Houwen: Yay Doug Kingston: Yay Cory Johnson: Abstain Bart Kus: Yay Ryan Turner: Yay

VOTE: 4 12V / 119Ah AGM batteries & DC PDU for Gold Mtn
by Bart Kus 22 Mar '18

22 Mar '18

Hello, As some of you have noticed, Gold Mtn has been having power issues the last couple of months. To mitigate this, we'd like to convert it onto a DC battery bank system. This requires 2 new item purchases: 1) A 24V battery bank to run the site for a few days in case of power outage 2) A DC PDU (Power Distribution Unit / PoE injector) to control and monitor power usage The battery bank is $500 for 240Ah @ 24V. The PDU is $231.03. The total for this spending request is therefore $731.03. Only directors may vote to approve the spend, but anyone is welcome to comment with input during the next 24 hours. Thanks, --Bat

WA7FW

Not sure it really matters but the WA7FW site changed the direction of the dish and is now connecting via Gold rather than Capitol Peak. My assumption is that the link information doesn't show up on the website map because it's expecting a link at Capitol instead of Gold at this time. 73, Craig Baker / KF7LLA

DynaDish 6?
by Bryan Fields 15 Mar '18

15 Mar '18

Looks like the new DynaDish 5's from Amazon are all locked down for frequency range now. I've seen this DynaDish 6, but of course it being mikrotik they don't list what frequencies it will support, just 5.9 GHz. Anyone tried one and know if it will cover the hamwan bands? -- Bryan Fields 727-409-1194 - Voice http://bryanfields.net

Tukwila Edge Decommission & Gold Mtn Status
by Nigel Vander Houwen 08 Mar '18

08 Mar '18

Hello Everyone, I just wanted to send out a quick general update on the network. We’ve seen some intermittent issues up at Gold over the last few weeks. We believe this is a hardware issue and have plans on fixing it up when we can next get up to the site. In the meantime, please be aware that if you’re connected to gold, you may see periods where there is no signal or no connectivity. Hopefully we’ll be able to get this sorted out soon. For the last three years we’ve been graciously sponsored by a local datacenter facility in Tukwila to host one of our edge sites. This site provided a redundant paths to and from the internet at large, and redundant radio links to Baldi and East Tiger. They’ve recently come under new management and unfortunately have decided they can no longer support us, so we are in the process of removing our gear. None of the network was singularly reliant on this facility, so there’s no outage at this point. We’d like to thank them for supporting us over the past three years, and we’ll be working to return some of the redundancy this facility provided to the network as we find good sites to place it. Thanks all! Nigel
