*****SPAM***** EmComm via HamWAN
Does anyone have up-to-date figures on how many public service agencies (EOCs, fire departments, hospitals, Red Cross offices, etc.) are connected to HamWAN? I am preparing an article for the ARRL E-Letter and those figures would help. Thanks, Steve
I don't have a list, but can inform you that the North Bend ARES Team has two volunteers already with HamWAN client connections to the new Rattlesnake Mountain HamWAN cell site installed this past June 2020. Myself W9SK with a fixed antenna at my home QTH, and another member KI7IRL with a portable antenna for field deployment. I have an antenna on order to also add another portable HamWAN node for field activations, with an idea proposed to create a WiFi mesh simultaneously between a growing number of NBAT emcomm volunteers who purchase antennas that can be linked to HamWAN. We are in conversation with our primary served agency, City of North Bend, for funding and approval to install a client node at their EOC site, and hope to get that funded when the City figures out their new budget changes (resulting from revenue reductions due to current Covid effects on local businesses).

We’re also at Camp Murray, Snohomish County Department of Emergency Management, Seattle EOC, and probably more that I’m forgetting or unaware of at the moment. Nigel

I guess I should have listed the agencies I know about, and then asked for additions. Please, no home stations at this time. Here is the list I have: State: EMD at Camp Murray, WSDOT SW Region, Washington Veterans Home EOCs: Snohomish County, Seattle, Federal Way, and Colwood (BC) Hospitals: Providence Regional Medical Center in Everett, Evergreenhealth Monroe Medical Center Red Cross: Victoria (BC) Steve Nigel Vander Houwen wrote on 9/11/20 10:59 AM:

I believe there is more than one Washington Veterans Home so you may need to specify. Retsil in Port Orchard is on Hamwan. Lee On Fri, Sep 11, 2020, 11:20 Steve - WA7PTM <psdr-list@aberle.net> wrote:

With regard to Seattle and Seattle ACS, in addition to the Seattle EOC (which has multiple HamWAN links), our alternate EOC radio room at North Seattle College will be connected in the very near future, and at least a dozen of our members have connections at their homes. In addition to permanent installations, we have at least a dozen portable, deployable, HamWAN client stations that can be set up if/when/where needed (I have 7 in my possession). The Seattle EOC has three pre-planned alternate locations should the primary EOC be unavailable, and we have the ability to set up HamWAN at any/all of those on demand. We are in the planning stage of placing a Winlink "server" (not the correct term, sorry) that would store/forward/serve Winlink email in the absence of any outside world internet connection. That would be able to support Winlink anywhere with the PSDR area. We have three Seattle DMR repeaters connected via HamWAN, as well as several Winlink and VARA nodes connected via HamWAN.

Thanks to everyone who responded. Watch the ARES E-Letter this coming Wednesday for the article. It features both the fire report from the Baldi camera and a brief overview on the adoption of HamWAN as a backup emergency communications system throughout the Interstate-5 corridor in Washington.
