Victoria, BC and Seattle EOC are online
Hello, Last weekend we put Victoria, BC on HamWAN. It's by far our longest link in the network, running 153km from Haystack. We haven't yet optimized the link (read: aligned the Haystack dish, or increased bandwidth, tweaked timings) but it's capable of pushing 10Mbit as it is. The Victoria group also has a couple sectors which will hopefully get deployed soon and extend HamWAN coverage into Port Angeles, Sequim, and The Islands. They also have plans to interconnect with BCWARN locally there, so that'll be a very fun extension to the HamWAN network. Yesterday we also put the Seattle EOC on HamWAN. They have a strong link which has been tested to push 90Mbit up and 80Mbit down. I'm looking forward to seeing some great emcomm exercises between Seattle EOC and Snohomish DEM in the near future! I should also point out that these two new accomplishments were not funded by HamWAN. --Bart
Nice work everyone! It will be interesting to see how that link performs. I'm looking forward to having HamWAN here in the South Sound region and at our repeater sites. Brett KG7DUH On Wed, Apr 27, 2016 at 9:59 AM, Bart Kus <me@bartk.us> wrote:

Folks, this is fantastic. Not to overstate it, but I want to publicly recognize that you're making a very real and non-trivial contribution to the Northwest's ability to manage disasters. Really great work. Ben On Wed, Apr 27, 2016 at 11:12 AM, Brett Larson <brett.larson50@gmail.com> wrote:

To trivialize this, I have to add: when the big one hits, consistent access to imgur will help maintain my sanity ;-) Tom
