[HamWAN PSDR] Antennas Mounted Indoors?

[Bart Kus]

More important than the gear will be your signal path.  Checking your 
callsign, I don't see where that building has clear view of the sound.  
I see it's buried among giants.  Do you have any zoomy photos showing 
Gold Mtn?

If you do indeed have a path, then any client should do.  Have you read 
http://hamwan.org/Standards/Component%20Engineering/Client%20Hardware.html 
?  We use a QRT-5 @ The Westing Building (2 blocks from you) to link to 
Gold Mtn.  You can use something higher gain if you have the room.  We 
needed something that could press up against the glass at a high angle 
due to the orientation of the Westin.
