Why not put up three more radios and make it a cell site? Good sites are hard to come by, and redundancy is a good thing. -- Dean On 2014-06-12 08:49, Tom Hayward wrote:
John,
That site is great. You have your pick of cell sites because it has line of sight to Captiol Park (Capitol Hill, Seattle), Baldi, Paine (Snohomish County EOC), and Haystack. Capitol Park should be very strong. I would not waste time with a survey; just bring everything needed for an install on the first trip.
Here are the models: Capitol Park
Baldi
Haystack
Paine

K7LWH (Lake Washington Ham Club) has a repeater site atop Lincoln tower in Bellevue. At last night's board meeting the topic came up of hooking the site to HamWan (as a client). Looking at the coverage map, it looks like the ground level near the building is marginal, but the antenna would be atop a 450' tall building.
Is there anyone who would be willing to do a site survey with antenna and radio to evaluate if this would be a reliable site? The club will buy and install equipment once the site is surveyed and they obtain permission (very likely).
This link would be to support D-STAR (including a RP2D node) and echolink in the repeater rack.
