Hi Pavel, I don't have an answer for you, but I do wish you luck. Please keep us advised if you end up finding a way to get your wisp up and running. I am one of the EOCs of the Centralia ARES group and we, as well as the Lewis County ARES have several members facing the same problem as you, living in that same part of Lewis County. I don't want to contribute to thread drift any more than I already have, so feel free to contact me at KE7PCB@ARRL.net or by HamShack Hotline phone at 4557. 73 Paul On Tue, Sep 10, 2019 at 8:10 PM Pavel Kirkovsky via PSDR <psdr@hamwan.org> wrote:
Hi all, I'm a ham radio operator with an interest in disaster preparedness. A few years ago I moved to Seattle from Portland, where I had volunteered with MCARES and PBEM. Recently, I've been considering purchasing a home in the Toledo/Chehalis area. I see that Toledo has fiber but Boistfort/Ceres/Meskill/surrounding areas have very poor internet service coverage. One of my requirements is to have (relatively) fast home internet, so this is a problem! Being a wireless mesh nerd, I'm mulling over the idea of starting a nonprofit WISP to bring coverage to myself and others in the area. I see there's a site up on Boistfort Peak/BawFaw. I know that HamWAN itself can't be used for internet access, but is tower space available for this purpose (e.g. a few Ubiquiti radios & antennas)?
