Noise floor, alignment, et al
by Ric Merry 27 Nov '19

27 Nov '19

I'm using web based speed test to judge my signal, they are a lot different than what I'm seeing via the terminal. My questions; 1. Is </interface wireless monitor 0> the best command to use when tweaking the dish alignment? 2. With a noise floor of around -121 would I see big benefits from purchasing the Sleeve30? 3. My ccq's sure vary throughout the day irregardless on a stable noise floor. Why I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving, I'm grateful for all those of you who have helped me here. -Ric [ric@K7ITE-Lookout] > /interface wireless monitor 0 status: connected-to-ess channel: 5900/10/an wireless-protocol: nv2 tx-rate: 57.7Mbps-10MHz/2S/SGI rx-rate: 43.3Mbps-10MHz/2S/SGI ssid: HamWAN bssid: 74:4D:28:57:F6:BA radio-name: Lookout-S2/WA7DEM signal-strength: -65dBm signal-strength-ch0: -67dBm signal-strength-ch1: -69dBm tx-signal-strength: -65dBm tx-signal-strength-ch0: -71dBm tx-signal-strength-ch1: -67dBm noise-floor: -121dBm signal-to-noise: 56dB tx-ccq: 90% rx-ccq: 80% authenticated-clients: 1 current-distance: 31 wds-link: no bridge: no routeros-version: 6.45.2 last-ip: 172.217.3.174 current-tx-powers: 6Mbps:27(27/30),9Mbps:27(27/30),12Mbps:27(27/30),18Mbps:27(27/30),24Mbps:27(27/30),36Mbps:27(27/30),48Mbps:25(25/28),54Mbps:24(24/27),HT20-0:27(27/30),HT20-1:27(27/30), HT20-2:27(27/30),HT20-3:27(27/30),HT20-4:27(27/30),HT20-5:26(26/29),HT20-6:25(25/28),HT20-7:23(23/26) notify-external-fdb: no

Hi my name is Kevin, Ki7kur I apologise in advance for not knowing a whole lot about HamWan. I am wondering if an administrator might look at my modem and make sure the settings are optimal. It is working from the Canadian border pointed at lookout. The sig is -72 snr is 51 Please let me know what you think and email me with any questions. Kevin Snow Ki7kur 360.815.4160

Icing and signal level.
by N5HC 23 Nov '19

Anyone have any historical data from sectors that get their antennas iced up? I see up to 10dB reduction in signal levels. But strangely not in all directions. Conny Jonsson N5HC A Multi-Megabit IP Network

The need for speed
by Ric Merry 23 Nov '19

23 Nov '19

I added a switch today and did some subsequent speed testing On speed web sites I'm getting <Mbps down and about 3 Mbps up with a latency around 80 ms. Seems awfully slow, am I fooling myself here?

Just saw this on another list. As it says in the memorial below, not only will he be missed, he cannot be replaced. His legacy will live on in the use of Net/44 and the good works that will result from ARDC's endowment. https://www.n1uro.com/bkantor/ Steve Stroh N8GNJ -- Steve Stroh (personal / general): stevestroh(a)gmail.com

Thanks: My HamWAN to Buck is working OK
by David C. Jenner 21 Nov '19

21 Nov '19

Many thanks to those in the To: fields of this message. My HamWAN connection to Buck Mountain appears to be fully working. Because I am 2 miles from--but 3600 feet right below--Buck Mountain, the signal strength is not super. I am usually getting 5+/-1 Mbps throughput. That's good enough for most everything Ham I want to do. My HamWAN is on its own, separate network with an RPi/DMR hotspot and a computer at the present. I will be adding a couple more RPi/radios and another computer in the future. Both the radio/dish and my firewall/router need to be tweaked a bit more to increase security, but, amazingly, so far I haven't bricked either! 73, Dave K7DCJ

Hi, We have completed the sectors and even the OPP for awhile now. Would be cool to get the site certified as a HamWAN site. Let us know what you need to proceed. Best Regards Conny Jonsson, N5HC NM HamWAN www.nmhamwan.net
