Good Evening, What is the status of bringing HamWan to Blyn? Bob Sampson k6mby@olypen.com 360-477-0776 (cell)
Bob, During the site visit in June, it was discovered the tower was missing guy wires for the top sections. This caused the top section to be 'leaning' and making the tower unsafe to climb to install the HamWAN dishes. I haven't heard anything since about the tower maintenance issues being addressed which will be required before HamWAN can be deployed.

I've reached out to the folks we've been working with at the site for an update on the tower condition. Will report back with what I find out.

I'm wondering if we have update on the Blyn HamWAN site, the missing guy wire, and the prognosis for getting the Blyn site online? Blyn would be far and away the best site for connecting the JeffCo alt EOC, a new DMR repeater that we've purchased, and other locations we would like to connect to HamWAN. Thanks !

John, Your timing is good. We are beginning to discuss projects and sites for the upcoming year and Blyn is definitely on the radar. I was told some time ago that the guy wire has been repaired and that is no longer an issue. We do however need to verify uplink paths to the site as when Bart visited last year I believe the impression was that it couldn’t see SnoDEM – one of the originally proposed link sites. That still leaves Lookout and/or Victoria as possibilities. It may be that SnoDEM is still reachable from the top of the tower that wasn’t explored during Bart’s visit for obvious reasons. If you can shoot me a list of EOC and other locations off-list you’re looking to connect, I can add them to the maps we use for planning. Right now the biggest limitations are likely weather and climber availability (also affected by weather) J. Cheers, Rob From: PSDR [mailto:psdr-bounces@hamwan.org] On Behalf Of John C.
