Re: [HamWAN PSDR] Possibility of tower usage for nonprofit WISP?
Several helpful replies so far but still no clarification on who manages the BawFaw tower and whether it's possible to use it for this. Any suggestions on who to ask next? ~~ Thanks, Steve! That sounds like a great resource and I'll see if I can get over there.

If you’re seriously considering starting a WISP, you should attend this event next month:

That's the unfortunate part — there's no ISP coverage and LTE service is spotty (T-Mobile says the tower is congested and the signal to the house is so spotty they can't actually consider it as having service).

The Baw Faw site is owned and managed by Weyerhaeuser Corporation. There are seven towers with commercial, government and amateur equipment. The Chehalis Valley Amateur Radio Society has a repeater there. I sent the CVARS a message to get more info on the site. I’ll be happy to pass the info on to you. 73 de, Dana Dana Hanford, Jr., CPMR, KC7SDD ID APCO-NENA Commercial Representative WA APCO-NENA Commercial Representative Vice President The Sales Group, inc.
