30 Aug '24

We are happy to announce that we have activated a new HamWAN cell site at the Mapleleaf Reservoir Park site in northeast Seattle. All three sectors are present. The cell has a primary backbone connection to Capitol Park and a backup link to Buck Mountain. We would like to recognize Seattle ACS and the City of Seattle for their support with this site. The GPS coordinates are: Lat 47.6910856, Long -122.317712 -Doug-

I'm in Brinnon, just below Buck Mtn. and get a feed from there. The air quality here at sea level goes from mediocre to bad, depending on the wind direction. Of course it's possible, but not likely, that it spreads to Buck Mtn. But the worst case is it goes East and gets into the Bonneville power lines. There it could take out power to the whole eastern and northern Olympic Peninsula. We have lots of friends along Duckabush Rd. who are susceptable to evacuation. 73, Dave K7DCJ On 8/17/24 6:44 AM, Jamie Hughes wrote: > Camera has been zoomed in. > I’m trying to figure out how to get the playback option to work from overnight that shows the slow fire progression. > *Jamie Hughes* > WA7JH > (360) 340-8886 > *From:*PSDR <psdr-bounces(a)hamwan.org> *On Behalf Of *Tony Ross via PSDR > *Sent:* Friday, August 16, 2024 8:23 PM > *To:* psdr(a)hamwan.org > *Subject:* Re: [HamWAN PSDR] 2620 fire - potential impact to HamWAN operations > DNR aerial photo at https://thenwfireblogcom/2024/08/15/2620-road-fire- wa-august-15-2024/ <https://thenwfireblog.com/2024/08/15/2620-road-fire- wa-august-15-2024/> > On 8/16/24 19:08, Scott N7SS wrote: > I generally use Inciweb.

2620 fire - potential impact to HamWAN operations
by rob＠nr3o.com 17 Aug '24

17 Aug '24

On Wednesday 8/14 a new fire started near Mt Jupiter on the Olympic peninsula near Brinnon, WA. In the last two days it has grown from 4 to ~350 acres. Details are still somewhat difficult to get as the fire is so new, but it's current position is about 5 miles south of the Buck Mountain site which serves a good bit of the Seattle area. At the moment the likelihood of getting that far is fairly low, but depends on how successful the containment efforts are. The forecast is a mixed blessing as rain is expected but is in the form of thundershowers Saturday into Sunday. Whether the rain helps or potential lightning and winds add to the problem is yet to be seen. The best info source I've found so far is https://datacentral.kitsapsun.com/fires/2620-road/2bb873f5-35fe-4791-9733-75 02a8f7e392/ Cheers, Rob
