DynaDish replacement
by Tom Schaefer 30 Apr '24

30 Apr '24

I noticed the DynaDish is discontinued. I’m here in Tampa Bay Area and was curious if anyone knows of an alternative people are using. This is for a portable setup in various parks, etc so the mANT30 is not exactly portable. I’ve already checked with the folks locally but they did not have a good consensus on a suitable performing replacement to the DynaDish. Thanks Tom NY4I 813-205-6388 ny4i(a)ny4i.com

by Rob Salsgiver 29 Apr '24

29 Apr '24

Greetings all, In order to cut down on the number of emails, I have combined those I know who have agreed to stand for election into this initial email. If you are a Supporting Member who wishes to also run for a Board position, PLEASE DO by announcing your intention via the list in similar fashion to below. Cory Johnson has acted as our Treasurer/Secretary for a number of years, and whose efforts have truly been invaluable. Cory handles the finances, makes sure the taxes get filed, and the bills get paid. His help in this area "behind the scenes" allows others to devote their time to the technical and operational sides of the organization. Doug Kingston has most recently been heavily involved in most of the efforts to upgrade the network as part of the NetOps group in addition to the Board. Recently retired, he has graciously put a LOT of his time into helping update various parts of the network in addition to his help on the Board. Dylan Ambauen has been with the organization several years as a contributing member of the NetOps group assisting with troubleshooting and regular maintenance, as well as participating in numerous site commissioning and de-commissioning operations. Rob Salsgiver (myself) - Past/current Board member, part of the NetOps group, assisted with site installations, maintenance, funding, and other items as needed. The voting period for the 4 individuals above will conclude 7 days from now. Supporting members, please reply in this thread with your Yea, Nay, or Abstain votes. Remember that each individual is a separate election, you do not have to choose one individual. Thank you all for your consideration, and I hope to have the opportunity to work with you further over the next year. Supporting members who are eligible to vote as of 4/20/2024: Terence Chan Tim Osburn Alan Dieringer Alan Scott Bob Edmiston Burt Guillot Casey R Hickerson Cory Johnson Dana Hanford Doug Kingston Dylan Ambauen John C Miller Kenneth Koster Nigel Vander Houwen Paul Sundquist Robert Salsgiver Robert Sampson Ronald Zuber If you believe the above list is in error, please let us know.
