For anyone wanting their tower climbing certification, the June class in Sacramento is relatively nearby.

Many reboots of the Westin router this evening
by Bart Kus 06 May '17

06 May '17

Hello, There were many reboots of the Westin edge router this evening. This was to track down what is believed to be a software bug recently introduced into the router's OS that breaks OPP users. Apologies if you were affected, but this was the most viable way to track things down. Here's the bug report I was able to write up based on the analysis: https://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=118202#p596927 As we wait for MikroTik to fix the problem, we're stuck on an older release. The original goal of the upgrade was so much more interesting than finding bugs -- it was to enable AES-NI hardware encryption acceleration for our inter-datacenter IPsec tunnels so that we can go beyond 500Mbit/s on those links. That'll have to wait now, and somehow we'll have to get by with 500Mbit speeds. --Bart

site survey for W7TAE?
by Daryl Staehle 01 May '17

01 May '17

Hi- I am in Oso WA, but my shack is on a ridge with a 72’ tower, and I believe I may very well have adequate line of sight down the Stilly Valley to Paine or Marysville. Is there someone who could help me with testing the site before I commit to buying equipment?? 73s Daryl W7TAE From: PSDR [mailto:psdr-bounces@hamwan.org] On Behalf Of Ryan Elliott Turner Sent: Sunday, April 30, 2017 8:43 AM To: Puget Sound Data Ring <psdr(a)hamwan.org> Subject: Re: [HamWAN PSDR] Compatibility. Yes. They'd make a very excellent client node. If you haven't had a survey take place before, I recommend that you reach out to the community and request that.

Antennas Mounted Indoors?
by Grace B Thomson 24 Apr '17

24 Apr '17

Hello, I live on the 5th floor of an apartment building in Belltown (98121) with windows facing Southwest. I am on 3rd Avenue, so there are buildings facing me, but I have a clear shot across the Sound to the WNW. I wonder if anyone can advise me regarding an antenna that might work mounted indoors (near the window) that has a good chance of working well. Unfortunately, the building does not allow anything to be mounted outside, so I am limited in this regard. Would it be better to have a device separate from the antenna (Metal 5SHPn for example), or a unit with an antenna built in? If You think an indoor solution is possible, Can You suggest some of the best hardware configuration alternatives. I am on a fixed income, so I am looking for an economic solution to start out with. If it looks like it is possible, I would like to purchase equipment and get this working within the next month or so. Thank You in advance for any thought or advice that You may have. Regards. 73 -Grace KC0BTM NNNN z
