Here is the information for Buck, I have details on yet another possible site in Tacoma, but I'll send a separate e-mail for it.

Buck Mtn / 47.7523,-122.93288
  1. Is this site still an active HamWAN goal/project?  Yes
  2. Who is the HamWAN point person / contact? (name, call, phone, email) Kenny Richards, KU7M, kenny@holenwall.com.com
  3. Who is the Site / interested party contact? (name, call phone, email) Dana Hanford, KC7SDD, (206) 660-7147, Dana@thesalesgroup.com (Access is technically through Bruce Richie, WA7ISO, Bruce.Richie@seattle.gov). The SeattleACS group has also shown interest in supporting the site, but support is still pending.
  4. What is the current status of implementing HamWAN at this location, if known? There is a visit scheduled for 8/28, with a goal to install a PtP dish and S0 to provide a foot hold. This will be the first time I've visited the site, so it is difficult to plan next steps at this time. Ultimately the site should at least be linked to Beacon and Gold. I believe SeattleACS would support adding another PtP dish to Beacon (if the link next week to a sector is successful). Similarly we should review how to link to Gold.
  5. Who is funding the equipment for this site? So far KU7M has personally funded. He will turn into receipts to 'claim' the donation to Cory after the site visit next week.
  6. When does local site access become restricted by weather? Unknown, assuming sometime in the late fall. Site is at 3770 feet elevation.
  7. What other locations and/or projects are on-hold until this site is done? None that I know of ...
  8. If you are a site owner/sponsor, do you have tower climbers for this site or are they available? Site doesn't have a tower, but a grid structure around the building. Climbers are still required, but isn't a 'technical' climb like Gold or SnoDEM.

Greetings all,

 

Earlier in the year there were a number of discussions about additional sites coming online to support DMR and other activities.  While we have and are accomplishing forward progress on a number of fronts, our “summer of opportunity” is coming to a close. 

 

I would like to find out information and status on the following list of sites discussed earlier this year:

 

  1. Lookout Mtn
  2. Gold Mtn
  3. Buck Mtn
  4. Rattlesnake Ridge
  5. Blyn Mtn
  6. If there are other locations, let me know.

 

 

For each of the sites above, I would like to know the following:

  1. Is this site still an active HamWAN goal/project?
  2. Who is the HamWAN point person / contact? (name, call, phone, email)
  3. Who is the Site / interested party contact? (name, call phone, email)
  4. What is the current status of implementing HamWAN at this location, if known?
  5. Who is funding the equipment for this site?
  6. When does local site access become restricted by weather?
  7. What other locations and/or projects are on-hold until this site is done?
  8. If you are a site owner/sponsor, do you have tower climbers for this site or are they available?

 

The above info will be used to assemble resources and prioritize to accomplish as much as possible before our weather windows close for the year for the higher-level locations.

 

ALL LIST MEMBERS

Please let me know the following if you are able to help at sites (obviously depends on calendars):

  1. What sites in the above list are you available/willing to help out with?
  2. What skills you bring (equipment config, ground crew / general labor, tower climber, etc)

 

 

Thanks all.  Let me know what you can and I’ll do my best to put an update together for the various projects.  Please reply to the list for things of value to the list.  If not of value to the community feel free to send directly to me at rob@nr3o.com

 

Cheers,

Rob Salsgiver – NR3O
