VOTE: High quality PTZ camera
by Bart Kus 05 May '16

05 May '16

Hello, Several of us have been talking about putting high quality PTZ cameras at our tower sites for people to enjoy. Survey the surrounding country side, get tactical awareness in emergencies, look for antenna damage remotely, etc. I'd personally love to have 1 good PTZ per tower. I think it would also be a very popular past time, and one of the killer apps that HamWAN can deliver. Good quality cams are expensive however. Here are the requirements as I see them: 1) Outdoor rated 2) No exposed moving joints that can freeze (domed design) 3) Heater to melt ice 4) IP encoding, not analog 5) 1080p or better 6) 30x optical zoom or better 7) Power over Ethernet so we can have only 1 cable run 8) Support OSX + Windows (Linux optional) 9) RTSP streamable so we can re-broadcast the stream to many people at once I found what I think is a decent cam that fits these requirements. It's the Q-See QCN8035Z <http://www.q-see.com/1080p-ip-ptz-camera-qcn8035z-1>. It costs about $670. Any opinions on this? I'm inclined to support such a vote. --Bart

VOTE: Finishing Gold hardware
by Bart Kus 27 Apr '16

27 Apr '16

Hello, This is to finish installing our Gold Mtn site. It's presently missing two sectors, and one dish needs to be moved up the tower. We don't have enough cable for this given it's a tall tower. Furthermore, we need a server-sized cabinet in there to hold a future server. Lastly, when we did the initial install we didn't factor in that zip ties would be unacceptable. This order includes proper cable management that'll survive. Install date is set for May 14th.

Victoria, BC and Seattle EOC are online
by Bart Kus 27 Apr '16

27 Apr '16

Hello, Last weekend we put Victoria, BC on HamWAN. It's by far our longest link in the network, running 153km from Haystack. We haven't yet optimized the link (read: aligned the Haystack dish, or increased bandwidth, tweaked timings) but it's capable of pushing 10Mbit as it is. The Victoria group also has a couple sectors which will hopefully get deployed soon and extend HamWAN coverage into Port Angeles, Sequim, and The Islands. They also have plans to interconnect with BCWARN locally there, so that'll be a very fun extension to the HamWAN network. Yesterday we also put the Seattle EOC on HamWAN. They have a strong link which has been tested to push 90Mbit up and 80Mbit down. I'm looking forward to seeing some great emcomm exercises between Seattle EOC and Snohomish DEM in the near future! I should also point out that these two new accomplishments were not funded by HamWAN. --Bart

Report from Mike and Key Electronics Show and Fleamarket
by Daniel Ransom 22 Apr '16

22 Apr '16

We had lots of interest for the HamWAN project at the Mike and Key Electronics Show and Fleamarket. I had a grid dish on my table at the Puyallup hamfest this year. I answered lots of questions and I distributed 40 fliers to interested hams. Here are some of the comments: - "How do you stay in line for Part 97?" - Upon seeing the MikroTik QRT-5: "Wow, I didn't know it could be so easy, look so nice!" - "What kind of Ubiquiti equipment do I use?" (the MikroTik brand is not well known with hams in our region) - "Okay, line of sight, I am going to take a look this afternoon!" - "How much does it cost? Where can I buy the equipment?" (Flytec sells the QRT-5 cheap on Amazon) - "How do you guys fund this project?" Many were very excited to see and touch the three configurations that I showed: - Integrated, flat-panel MIMO antenna/radio/modem - MIMO radio/modem with a dedicated panel antenna - Grid dish with single-channel radio/modem A handful asked for path plots. Tom, you should see some requests coming from people who join the mailing list in the next few days. Some were curious about a north sector at Tiger Mountain. Thanks for your help on the tri-fold brochures, Nigel. These were a BIG hit at the hamfest. 73 from Dan at K7MM

Quarterly Board Call
by Nigel Vander Houwen 18 Apr '16

18 Apr '16

Hello All, I wanted to send out a reminder here with access details regarding the quarterly board conference call we have coming up. The call will take place this upcoming Monday, April 4th at 6:30 PM Pacific time. (The monday two days from now). The board members will meet to discuss the current state and vote on any decisions necessary for the org. Members are welcome to dial in and listen, and I make a point of asking for general feedback on things being discussed before the board makes a decision. You can join the conference call at the org’s conference line at 1-206-805-8861. If anyone has things they would like to have brought up on the agenda, please reach out to me and I’ll be sure to include them. Currently, the agenda stands at: Voting to reimburse Bart for the modem HamWAN has acquired from him, at at cost of $130 Discussion regarding adjusting the constitution to allow for board members to make reasonable spending decisions without needing to gather the board for a call, which are presently limited to less than $100, not even covering the expense of a single modem or antenna. Thanks, Nigel Vander Houwen
