Any one having Haystack connection issues?
by John G Parnell 26 Oct '20

26 Oct '20

Hello- My HamWAN connection to Haystack has been working nicely since we set up my dish in the summer of 2019 - the last time I connected was 2 weeks ago. Tonight when I tried to log into the ACS net via Winlink, I could not connect. I tried it on two computers that I had previously connected with it, and have not messed with the software or network settings -(unless a Win 10 update messed with the networking somehow.) Has there been any issues with Haystack for any of you? I have seen no mention of it in this group or the ACS list, so I doubt it has gone down - but I have to ask before delving further. If the siteis up and running - I would appreciate any suggestions on where to start looking for Gremlins. VY 73, -John, K7HV

SW Washington - Wahkiakum County
by Steve Carson 16 Oct '20

16 Oct '20

I would like to talk with someone about extending hamwan into Wahkiakum County for emergency network use. I have access to an 800' peak along the Columbia river with line-of-site to Naselle towers which should be able to reach Bafaw. My location is currently used as a transmitter for a WISP with 300 Mbps internet service at the site. I can cover NW Oregon, as well as the Wahkiakum county area quite well. The site is solar powered. Thanks for considering my site and connecting me. Steve ________________S T E V E C A R S O N sc(a)clnw.com [sc(a)clnw.com] 360.795.5000 *New Phone

hamwan availability
by Don Sayler 10 Oct '20

Hi Folks, A couple of years ago we at the Lake Washington Ham Club looked at using Hamwan for our limited connectivity needs. At the time, there didn't appear to be very good coverage at our site. I looked at it again today, and the coverage looks much better (the black square is our site... 47.663751°, -122.166478°). [image: image.png] Does the map account for trees? Are there any height requirements for the antenna? We have a huge water tank about 20 feet east of the building. We do have a tower, but getting the hamwan antenna up there would be a challenge. Is there a way we could do a site survey? We don't have a large bandwidth need. All we need is support for Echolink, Telnet, and (for now) IRLP, as well as AllStar in the future. Thanks for any input. Don Sayler W7OXR Treasurer LWHC

Heat map for Tulalip site.

We're putting up a PNWDMR repeater at the Tulalip Admin building (48.0550477,-122.2585515) but due to the way the building is we can't point south. Does anyone know if there is a PSDR site that we can hit looking north-ish? Thanks and 73, Joe -- Joe Hamelin, W7COM, Tulalip, WA, +1 (360) 474-7474

........ "Is there any kind of HamWAN access at Cougar Mountain (WA)?" Yes, there is. It lands via a dedicated tunnel over commercial Internet, and performs just like any other HamWAN attachment. It has been in operation for years. It is used currently at Cougar in Buildings E and K, by WWATS, SeaTac RA and SnoVARC.(Western Washington Amateur Television Society, SeaTac Repeater Association, and Snoqualmie Valley Amateur Radio Club). I have a plan to extend its reach to Building M, if needed. Depending on Burt Guillot's needs, it is likely that I can connect him to our network without too much trouble. Burt, I suggest you write to me off list - K7QJ(a)arrl.net - and describe your application.

Just checking to see if anyone has any more recent news on that. Regards, Burt Guillot N7CS
