Chad/all, Cross-state connectivity has always been a long-term goal for the system. Like all other projects, the biggest hurdle is aligning the resources to make it happen – in this case, sites. Different people have discussed possible routes via northern WA/BC as well as central/south WA. If you are someone who can assist in make this happen, please drop me a note direct so we can do initial brain-storming off-list. Once we have a starting framework to move forward with we can bring it back out to the larger group as needed. Congrats on your network! When there’s time I would like to learn more about it.

Attached is a current map of the Yakima Amatuer Radio Data NETWORK (YARD Net) currently running several AREDN nodes on 2.4ghz and 5ghz part97. There is interest in connecting with HamWan. I know there have been West/East side discussions in the past and we would like to start looking into connecting again. Those involved with our (Yakima) project (and Spokane) belong to this group.io group https://groups.io/g/yardnet Thanks, Chad Smith KA7HAK
