We sure don't! :)  I'd like a small section of tower, 8 or 10ft to affix the cell site gear to.  Rohn 25 would be perfect.  It'd be good if it was able to stand on the ground somehow.  I have 4 MT radios here that can be used to compose the cell, but more are needed for client access/sale.  I'll probably order 4 more tonight.  We need some stock of this common gear stuff.  I'll order one of those (incredibly expensive) ARC 34dBi dishes and hope it isn't shit like their sector turned out to be.  If nothing else it'll look like SRS BSNS on display.

Then, after the new sectors arrive and presumably one of them passes acceptance testing, will need to order 2 more of that type of sector.

Also, I've increased the flea market registration to 2 tables and 3 helpers.  Rob, you're paid for if you show up.

My wife suggested getting a banner.  http://www.esigns.com/table-banners/  I'm colorblind with no artistic sense.  If someone on list wants to get all fancy, I won't refuse a nice HamWAN banner.  :)  The tables are 8ft wide, so 28"x96" seems appropriate.  Would be cool to "fly the flag" in the background of the cell site.  :)

Do we have enough available equipment – if not what do we need?  I was considering ordering some of my own and it could be used if needed.

Subject: [HamWAN PSDR] HamWAN will be at the Mike & Key Flea Market March 9th

 

Hello,

I just reserved a table for HamWAN @ the flea market.  I would dearly love to have a fully working cell site assembled and running there, and provide folks with access equipment to link up right on the spot.  We have exactly 4 weeks to make this happen.

2 weeks after the flea market, HamWAN will be presenting @ the MicroHAMS Digital Conference.  March is shaping up to be a busy month.

Dear Board, please attend.  Dear Dev Team, please attend too.  I've reserved "helper" admission for 2 people.  Let me know if you plan to be there or can't make it.  Also, thinking of increasing the reservation to 2 tables (16 ft of space).  A fully assembled cell site is gonna take up a lot of room, and people will want space to put their laptops down and configure stuff.
