Hi Randy,
Yep, that was me. I couldn’t believe i could get broadband over 30 miles away. Crazy cool. All hubs could certainly benefit. This should be pretty easy to package and price.
Cheers, Bob

Hi Robert,

I think it was you that brought your portable HamWAN rig to the Seattle ACS meeting.
Thanks very much - I think it was a good demo to help other folks comprehend the simplicity of HamWAN client equipment.

For emergency purposes, a portable station could be quite handy to operate from your nearest Seattle Emergency Hub

Thanks also to Kenny for the talk on HamWAN at the ACS Meeting.

How do you access the router from a phone, that would be so much better than lugging the laptop up ladders. I ordered the map2n version of the same router: Mikrotik RouterBoard mAP RBmAP2nD micro Access Point wireless Dual-Chain https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N7DO1VB/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_c_api_-454zbM30MM89

Great work! I've used a TL-MR3020 myself. It's a nice tool to have in the bag. I've done "HamWAN portable" with essentially this same kit in a backpack while hanging off a tower--the wifi makes it possible to use a cellphone to check signal strengths while aiming a dish.

For those who don't have one already, I'd recommend looking at the mAP https://www.balticnetworks.com/mikrotik-map-lite-2-4ghz-magnetic-dual-chain-indoor-ap.html. It doesn't handle cellular modems* like the TL-MR3020, but it is tiny, can run directly off 12V (PoE injected), and comes with the full Mikrotik Router OS so you can do advanced routing stuff if needed.

* Mikrotik has some cellular modem support via USB, but I haven't tried it on the mAP... It might be possible.

Do you have any plans for a permanent installation? I know one thing I don't want to have to deal with during a disaster: setting up a HamWAN link.

I got my hamwan link Working from the historic Madison Park ferry dock in Seattle to Haystack with 1.8mbps down and 3.8 up. Then connected to a tplink WiFi hotspot and sent Winlink email from a laptop and email from an iPhone. Pretty darned happy with this new super power. Thanks Puget Sound Hamwan volunteers.
