Hello All, Just a quick update here. It appears due to the current wind storm the Capitol Park site has lost power and is on batteries. It continues to operate at full capacity at the moment. We’ll update here if there’s any changes. Nigel

mantbox19s certification?
by kd2iua.ham 07 Dec '18

07 Dec '18

Do you support mantbox19s routers and if so do they have to be the international versions initially? I'm looking in the next few months to roll out a test case to give hamwan some presence in upstate NY with some existing mantbox routers I'm also wondering if you have ever considered using 3ghz for the p2p backbone links? You mention using part 15 unlicensed for the p2p but for part 97 purposes why not just utilize airfiber3x radios on 3.4-3.5? Since the 3ghz band on 3.65 for wisps will be deactivated in 2020, it might open up a lot of used wisp gear that doesn't have a home except for limited ham applications. This might create a unique opportunity if the cost of the gear crashes as a result and can only be used for a ham. Robert (kd2iua)

Adding Metro Vancouver to HamWan
by Scott Leaf 16 Nov '18

Hi this is VA7SL of the North Fraser ARC. We are interested in connecting to the Puget Sound ring. I have done a path study and it is excellent from here on Thornhill in Maple Ridge, BC to Mt Mcdonald. Is there any RF point towards Maple Ridge or could there be? 73 Scott VA7SL --

Broadcast antennas are generally build-to-order, and this master antenna situation was a very custom job.

Don't know how current the info is but on this site that is dated 2010: https://www.fybush.com/sites/2010/site-101112.html Clay Freinweld (K7CR) says about West Tiger II: "Not only did West Tiger become a major FM site, it began to be considered as a possible TV site, too.
