<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I don't think we ever got clear on the
exact location, but I'm gonna assume it's the tower complex around
(47.029254°,-122.299524°). I've taken another look at it and it
does seem to stand about 500ft above the plain below. I have no
doubt it provides great coverage @ UHF, but HamWAN operates @
about 6GHz. In 6GHz land, it's better to add an extra 10 miles
than to shoot through trees. And that right there is my concern
with Graham. I'm not sure how much "tree clearing" power it
provides to the users in the plains below given the mere 500ft of
elevation gain. Is the tower of substantial height?<br>
<br>
Now, as far as Graham's ability to bridge Capitol Peak and Baldi
Mtn, it's a pretty good candidate. So at the very least I'd like
to put PtP infrastructure there. It may make sense for HamWAN to
spend the extra $700 and put PtMP there too, at least on a trial
basis. If no-one can use the PtMP gear there, we can tear down
and re-deploy.<br>
<br>
I'll reach out to Mike to get a move on with this site, now that
we have a spectrum plan.<br>
<br>
Oh, and what's the internet feed there, what provider/speed/cost?<br>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Yes. I've spoken @ WWARA
already in order to address the repeater owners
throughout the Puget Sound. What came of that is that
most repeater owners have very little power over their
sites when it comes to installing new gear, and are
typically (>95%) not the site owners. It's still a
viable avenue though in terms of who might be interested
in using or supporting such a system, but probably not
from the sites-for-HamWAN angle. Perhaps you know more
repeater folks, give it a shot!<br>
<br>
FWARC has expressed the most interest in D-Star over
HamWAN for their D-Star system. However, their site is
fairly low down, on Graham Hill.<br>
