Re: [HamWAN PSDR] Volunteers for Capitol Peak on May 28th? (Saturday)
I do not have Ham license, but I am interested in the HamWAN project. I used to work for a wireless ISP and we did essentially what you are doing with unlicensed spectrum. I might be able to help on Saturday. I will likely get my Ham cert so I can play with you guys.

Aaron, You might want to hook up with the hams on Whidbey. They’ve been slowly working toward getting HamWAN installed and setup to cover some of their EOCs and other EMCOMM locations. I’ve cc’d John Acton who can put you in touch with the others off-list.

Hi Aaron, My name is John Acton and I live in Oak Harbor. I also belong to the Island County amateur radio club here on Whidbey. We have a couple of people who are wanting to get HamWan on the island. I’m sure they would like to have you helping out. If your interested in getting your license we do have a Technician class coming up the first two Saturdays in June. You can get more information about that from Ken, N7AXJ@w7avm.org. Anything I can help with please let me know.

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. Tom KD7LXL
Aaron, if you want to take a class to get a license see http://www.arrl.org/find-an-amateur-radio-license-class for HamWan you would only need a Technician license and may be able to complete with self study. An online resource is https://hamstudy.org/ There are a group of digitally interested hams that have brunch nearly every Saturday morning in Everett, if you are ever down that way.
