Hello,
I've been working recently on the Rattlesnake site and funding
things out of pocket. I'd like HamWAN to assume the expenses and
future ownership/maintenance of the items. I have itemized the
total cost of the site here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1P_QE15Gj3UtxGh5JG6TgI1RdsY-7Gn0-idwBnqnst1Y/edit?usp=sharing
This installation spans 2 shacks on the mountain, and 2 towers. The
north tower links to Haystack, and the south tower links to Baldi.
The two shacks (and towers) are tied together via 60GHz microwave
link and share a LAN. The site will provide 2 sectors worth of
regional coverage. One sector bearing north, and the other bearing
120 degrees. The site will also feature a remotely controllable PTZ
camera which will stream 24/7. All links have excellent signal
quality. The items marked "Future Deploy" are scheduled for
deployment this coming weekend. The other items are already
deployed.
Some of this hardware has already been expensed with HamWAN, other
hardware was already owned by HamWAN and was re-assigned for use at
Rattlesnake, and the remaining hardware I purchased out of pocket
and haven't been compensated for yet. This spreadsheet GRAND TOTAL
tracks the total cost of the site. In terms of the remaining
expenses for HamWAN and me to be square, that is only $1,120.
I have submitted a reimbursement request to the board for that
amount, in parallel with this vote approval request.
