My name is Todd Lilleness,KG7VRV. I am interested in equipment I need to participate with HamWAN. What is the range of this equipment? I in Lake City,Seattle. Thank you for your help.
Range isn't really the right question to ask. The biggest limiting factor is line of sight. Anything solid will block the signal, so for the most part HamWAN only works when you can see the tower/mountain it's on. The coverage map here: https://hamwan.org/t/Coverage+Map shows areas in red that are calculated to have line-of-sight to a HamWAN site from an antenna located 30 ft above ground (typical 2-story building plus mast height). Zoom in on Lake City to see what you might get. I can help you with more detailed analysis if it looks promising. Once you have line of sight, range is 100 km or so.

Here is the map: https://hamwan.org/t/Coverage+Map The access sites are indicated by the sector icons (like this, or portions of this, http://hamwan.org/t/display32 ). Tom
