[HamWAN PSDR] Fwd: HamWan in Point Roberts

[Bart Kus]

Hi Kelly,

After Chris is done building out the SSI site, you'll need a way to 
mount an antenna with line-of-sight to it.  The PNW is full of trees, 
which are great at absorbing 6GHz signals.  If you have a tower or some 
kind of clear shot through the trees, then you'd be all set when the 
time comes.
