It's shaping up to be a busy summer for HamWAN in the Puget Sound region! We have many repairs to do (watch for emails to volunteer), and if things go well we will have multiple new sites coming online.
Here is the first funding request for a new site, Larch Mountain. Rob and Loren have invited HamWAN to Larch to connect their DMR repeaters. This is also a strategic location and milestone for HamWAN: it will allow us to link the Seattle and Portland metro areas. Larch will connect to Baw Faw via point-to-point dish and cover the Portland area with a sector.
Here is the full bill of materials. It's a little different than typical because for the long shot to Baw Faw we plan to repurpose an unused 3ft dish from Baldi.
HamWAN board, please submit your votes to approve funding this buildout.
