[HamWAN PSDR] Mt Brenton

Good morning Tom

I will send this note to the BCWARN admin team.  CVARS is now active with BCWARN as a ‘client’ being as we are the end of the link for now.  A presentation in 2010 written by Duncan Meakins and a YouTube by one you members both expressed a desire to connect.  I am not sure if the fine print both with FCC and ISED will allow this link but it I think that peering the two networks would be a very good thing.  It could give Triangle a redundant path etc.

Anyway, off to work

Good evening all

My name is Steve, VE7CBH.  I have been lurking on this list for some time now waiting for the right opportunity to further things along.  What I was waiting for was the link from Mt Brenton VE7RNA repeater site just west of Chemainus BC to the BCWARN system.  That link has now been commissioned.  https://www.bcwarn.net/intermapper/rf-map.html

Mt Brenton is at 4000 feet, and has a shot into WA.  Haystack @ ~140KM is a possibility.  Is there any interest to pursue this link?

Hi Steve,

I wasn't sure what this had to do with Larch Mountain, so I changed the subject. I hope you don't mind.

140 km would be quite the shot for 5 GHz!

We are planning to install at Lookout Mountain very soon. That shot would only be 112 km--a lot, but a little more realistic. Let's see if we can pull that off.

Are you active with BCWARN? What sort of peering arrangement is desired with HamWAN? It would be nice for our respective EOCs to be able to communicate via the microwave path.
