Really well. We got all 6 radios + antennas installed, and 4 of the 6 CAT5 lines are running and terminated into the building. Still need to haul 2 more lines from the bottom of the tower and into the building. So now this site has 3 sectors and 3 32dBi dishes for PtP links.

Nothing is powered on or configured yet, but the hardware is very nearly done. We're facing some challenges now with spectral usage, and hoping to work through those by cooperating with the existing WISP in the next few days. 2 of the 3 sectors have clear allocations but the 3rd is being decided right now. The PtP links are also a challenge, but are far more flexible than the sector allocations.

Also, no one died or got injured, so hurray!

Special thanks to K7ICY who came all the way from Portland to suffer through the long day that it was.

Hello,

We're on visit #4 to Baldi and trying to wrap this deployment up. It's been a challenging site to deal with due to lack of mounting points and strict deployment standards / severe winter weather conditions.

We'll be meeting @ Enumclaw McDonalds @ 9:45AM this coming Saturday. If you have a truck or a van that can carry cargo up a rocky road, and are willing to spend your day helping deploy the site, please let me know ASAP. You will not need to climb, there is plenty of work for ground crew folks.

Thanks!
