Re: [HamWAN PSDR] Paine Field pre-deploy roll call
I'm (predictably) behind. Still packing. Likely won't arrive until 10:00AM. --Bart On 6/21/2013 10:28 AM, me@bartk.us wrote:
Whoops I meant 24hrs out. Saturday at 9:30am is the start.

Hello,
We are 48 hours from the Paine Field deploy. If you've been asked to assist with the deploy, can you confirm your availability here?
Also, I passed the training course, so HamWAN will now have access to a certified tower climber! Me! :)

So how did it go on Saturday? Bart - you didn't fall on your first official climb, right? ;-) On Sat, Jun 22, 2013 at 9:03 AM, Bart Kus <me@bartk.us> wrote:

I'm glad to report no one died or got hurt. We didn't even drop anything! So that's a success. Also, managed to deploy the most important bits of the site before we ran out of time. Got the 3 sectors up and a PtP dish to Capitol Hill. None of the stuff is configured though, and the corresponding dish @ Cap Hill needs to be adjusted. It's pointing in a very wrong direction. We can get a link from the Paine dish to the Cap Hill north sector, but not to the Cap Hill dish supposedly pointing back @ Paine. This points the finger @ the Cap Hill dish as being misaligned. 4 more dishes still need to go up on Paine though and the cabling needs to be re-dressed. We left a mess up there due to lack of time. Really need a 2nd visit to Capitol Hill to finish those sectors and do the dish alignment now. I could use a lot of mechanical help with fixing/replacing the engine in the HamWANVan. Yes, I bought a van, a Ford E250, to be used as a network service vehicle for deployment, maintenance and special events. Sadly after 2 days of running around wonderfully, it died. I'm on step 11 of 61 for removing the engine. Once it's mated to the engine stand, it's gotta be taken apart to see what's wrong. There's an awful rattling that starts when the starter is done cranking it over and explosions take over. So something is definitely broken inside. Hopefully it hasn't done much collateral damage bouncing around inside. --Bart On 6/23/2013 8:57 PM, Kenny Richards wrote:
