[HamWAN PSDR] site survey for W7TAE?

[Tom Hayward]

Daryl,

I ran a viewshed analysis for your QTH and unfortunately didn't come up
with anything. 5.9 GHz is very line of sight, and you're tucked back in the
valley enough that there aren't many directions you have line of sight.
There are substantial hills between you and all existing HamWAN sites.
Further, I didn't see line of sight to any of the commercial radio sites I
have in my database, so I don't know that HamWAN could make its way to you
even after future expansion.
