I live in Belfair and would like to learn how to connect to a Hamwan site. I have an antenna that mounts on the truck hitch. It has wireless xyx movement capability to search for a site while inside the truck. Is there anyone in my area that knows this stuff that would want to get in the truck with me and search for a connection? No hurry on this but would be a fun day and I want to learn.

You can also do path plots to HamWAN locations which are available on the website with precise GPS coordinates and the antenna heights at those locations though you may need to hunt through the text or view the pictures to figure out that part. -Doug- On Sun, Jun 9, 2024 at 11:36 AM Llew Roberts <llew@llew.net> wrote:

Yes, this is the list you posted to.

What Doug was recommending is that you create a free account here (Radio Mobile Online) with your callsign: https://www.ve2dbe.com/rmonline_s.asp

Navigating that site is not that easy but it can be figured out if you’re methodical about it. Put in your GPS coordinates and height of your antenna and it will give you a pretty coverage map for your location.

I’ll leave the equipment question open for people who might be closer. I’m in Renton.
