Hello,

We've installed a successful link from the supremely well connected Westin building to Gold Mtn.  The transfer speeds haven't been optimized yet, but initial testing shows about 40Mbit Westin->Gold and about 15Mbit Gold->Westin.  There is a visit scheduled to the Westin for this Friday to tweak the alignment of that antenna and optimize the link.  The existing speeds are good enough though to consider building the site out as a full cell, with PtP redistribution.  To that end, here is the list of hardware we're going to need:

GRAND TOTAL

$2118.75

The core site router will be the RB2011 from Baldi that failed.  We've determined it works when powered from the PoE port, so we'll just feed it that way.  There are RJ45 ends left over from the previous order, so no need for those.  I'm deferring server purchase for this site to a later date.

I've got 1 new-in-box sector and 1 new-in-box shield, so I'm selling those to HamWAN in this order at a discounted price.  The total HamWAN savings between the unit cost and shipping decrease is $27.79, and I get to have less clutter in my lab.

The work party is scheduled for Oct 17th, and ground shipping will take 5 days, not counting any handling delays, so let's decide on this quickly.  I should have put all this together a couple days back.
