If I can get equipment I'd love to try to shoot it from Tulalip Bay. -Joe -- Joe Hamelin, W7COM, Tulalip, WA, +1 (360) 474-7474 On Tue, May 21, 2019 at 8:49 PM Rob Salsgiver <rob@nr3o.com> wrote:
Gold's 900 is up and running - in fact we were just debating it a bit on the list a week or so ago, discussing whether anyone was actively using it and/or interested in experimenting with it, or whether to scrap it and take it offline. Mikrotik no longer makes a radio to use 900, so if we want to work with it we'll have to look at alternatives. There's a MT baseboard with a ubiquity daughterboard that Spokane folks are using we can look at.
What is your interest in 900 and where would you like to see it go? I think the project has some value for some of the non-LOS sites at a lower data rate, but do we have enough people interested to make it worth the effort is the question?
Cheers, Rob

It's been a couple years since I asked about 900 MHz. Has there been any change in the status at Gold Mtn?
It's only deployed @ Gold Mtn. It doesn't work very far, due to the low gain nature of 900MHz antennas and only using 1/2 W transmitter. Feel free to link to it @ 915MHz with 5MHz channel-width. You'll need the Mikrotik 9HPn modem and a vpol antenna of some kind. More gain the better.
