VOTE: Nigel Vander Houwen running for Director
Hello, I am announcing my intention to run again for a Director position on the HamWAN Board. The 7 day voting period for my election will begin immediately. I am currently a Director for HamWAN, as well as an administrator for the network infrastructure. I have been a primary force in maintaining the network infrastructure, have completed our contract with the Digital Fortress datacenter facility and have completed the initial installation of a new edge router and server at the facility, in addition to having helped install equipment at our Capitol Hill, Baldi, Paine, and Mirrormont sites. I will continue to push for performance and coverage improvements in the network, and I’d like to see further adoption at EOC facilities as a driver for network use. Each supporting member gets to cast one Yay or Nay vote in my election, or can choose to abstain from voting. As a supporting member myself, I will vote YAY. Please reply on the list with your votes. Thank you, Nigel Vander Houwen

Yes, certainly a "vote of appreciation" is in order! In fact, thanks to all that have been involved. Now, if I can just get a couple of you to cut down some trees (not on my property) in the middle of the night, my appreciation would be unbounded ... -- Dean On 2015-02-17 12:54, Rob Salsgiver wrote:

I hear infrared lasers are the leading cause of spontaneous tree combustion. :) In all seriousness though, your user experience is foremost in my mind, and I'm doing what I can to bring some deeper penetration to our service offering in 2015. Turns out, if you wanna run a network in the Pacific Northwest, you're gonna have to engineer it to work through trees! Whoda thunk! --Bart On 2/17/2015 1:36 PM, Dean Gibson AE7Q wrote:

OK, I don't believe any of you cut down any trees on the 5.9GHz path to the SnoCo DEM near Paine field, but *something changed*: Starting about a week ago, the signal levels have increased about 6dBm. For the past several days I have had more or less a decent connection: status: connected-to-ess band: 5ghz-n-5mhz frequency: 5900MHz wireless-protocol: nv2 tx-rate: 2.2Mbps rx-rate: 1.5Mbps ssid: HamWAN bssid: D4:CA:6D:7A:B8:07 radio-name: Paine-S2 signal-strength: -84dBm signal-strength-ch0: -84dBm tx-signal-strength: -79dBm tx-signal-strength-ch0: -79dBm noise-floor: -118dBm signal-to-noise: 34dB This is in marked contrast to just two weeks ago, when I couldn't hold a connection at all (as was typical through the entire winter). Kenny, I thought you told me your connection has been poor lately. Have you checked in the past week? On 2015-02-17 13:36, Dean Gibson AE7Q wrote:

I've thought of it. In order to clear the half-dozen or so houses in the path of Haystack, I would have to install a tower in my back yard; mounting the antenna on the east side of my house wouldn't do, due to the afore-mentioned houses. I've also thought of pointing at other HamWAN cells. Somehow, I have a really good path at 1.2GHz to KB7CNN on East Tiger Mountain: One watt into a 10dB omni-directional antenna does it. The path to the Mt. Baldi site just clears the hills west of East Tiger Mountain by a couple hundred feet (assuming no earth curvature!). Capital Hill is also line-of-sight, except for some really big trees a couple blocks south of me. I also supposedly have line-of-sight to the TV towers on Queen Anne, but since reception of channel 5 (KING-TV) is problematic, I suspect the same trees are a factor there.

Dean, If anything my connection has gotten a little worst. I bounce between -81 and -83.... I am hoping to move the dish to the tower this summer, it should mean it is looking through a little less foliage then where it is on the roof.
