Happy New Year. Attached is a current map of the Yakima Amatuer Radio Data NETWORK (YARD Net) currently running several AREDN nodes on 2.4ghz and 5ghz part97. There is interest in connecting with HamWan. I know there have been West/East side discussions in the past and we would like to start looking into connecting again.

Chad, The ability to have data communications established from Western to Eastern WA would be a big win for many. In case we were left with no reliable commercial Internet in a disaster setting, HamWAN connectivity reaching over the mountains to the East would greatly increase the reach and usefulness of our emergency communications capability.

Chad/all, Cross-state connectivity has always been a long-term goal for the system. Like all other projects, the biggest hurdle is aligning the resources to make it happen – in this case, sites. Different people have discussed possible routes via northern WA/BC as well as central/south WA. If you are someone who can assist in make this happen, please drop me a note direct so we can do initial brain-storming off-list. Once we have a starting framework to move forward with we can bring it back out to the larger group as needed. Congrats on your network! When there’s time I would like to learn more about it.

What are some potential relay points? Does Mission Ridge see anything on the west side? John D. Hays Kingston, WA K7VE

John, Some potential sites have been identified on the website, but with the exception of Baldi we have no access to these sites: https://hamwan.org/Puget%20Sound%20Data%20Ring/Potential%20Sites/Links/East-... Tom
