First you need confirm you have line of site access to one of the HamWAN sectors (as discussed in this thread). If you have that access, you will need your own client dish: http://hamwan.org/Standards/Component%20Engineering/Client%20Hardware.html and a way of mounting it. Finally, you will need to configure it: http://hamwan.org/Standards/Network%20Engineering/Client%20Node%20Configurat... -Doug- On Thu, Aug 27, 2020 at 7:26 PM James Betteley <jabetteley@msn.com> wrote:
Hi Doug. I’ve been a subscriber for some time. Watching, listening since being active on packet in the late 80’s thru 2001. I live in Port Ludlow where I would use The PTN node to connect to the digital world. That node doesn’t seem to be there any longer.
Can you advise how I can gain connectivity to a node in your network and thus access a bbs for mail?
Many thanks.

We would need your precise address/location to plot line of site vs. obstructions to one of the northern cell sites (Blyn, Lookout, SnoDEM(Paine)). You can do this yourself using http://www.heywhatsthat.com/profiler.html, to map the path from your house to one of those sites. We need to update the Sites page to have the cell site coordinates for you.
SnoDEM: Snohomish County Emergency Operations Center (47.923864°, -122.244374°) on a 150ft tower Blyn: 48.005941,-122.972276 at roughly 90 ft. Lookout: (I don't have this location)

Hello,
I'm interested in setting up a new node at my QTH. I would like some help in determining if my home has a feasible link. I'm in the North Arlington/Stanwood area. If it is feasible I'll buy the equipment necessary.
Thanks for you time,
