<div>All sites will need a visit during the
experiment, since there's equipment that needs to be loaded @ my
Renton location. Do you (or anyone) have UHF yagis that can be
used? We've had some control link problems and the added distance
will only make it worse. The UHF radios you mention would help
too.<br></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div> Don't have much in the way of UHF yagis. In fact, I have only one, an Arrow (hand-held satellite yagi) that's good for 10W. Maybe we'd be better off with a repeater? Or HF? Or (gasp) cell phones as a last resort.<br>

How much time do you have on Saturday? I'd budget about 5
hours... If you can drop by Renton prior to that so I can take
you through the training on how to work parts of the gear, that
would be helpful.<br></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div> I can start around 11am and need to be back at the house by 6pm. The killer is the Renton bit. Google maps says 45 minutes each way from here. Realistically, it's an hour. Multiply that by four (down and back to pick up gear/training, then down and back to return gear) is four hours all by itself.<br>

Let me know what you can do time-wise,<br></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div> I'm flexible within the 10-6 constraints.<br><br></div><div> I assembled my antenna yesterday, and scrounged up a nice steel tripod with a mast to mount the whole thing on. My metal had up-to-date firmware as of a couple of weeks ago (I could update again if necessary). The big issue is that it's almost certainly not configured properly. I've set up the "inside" interface on my lab LAN, but have done little else. If it would save a trip (or two) to Renton and back, I'd be happy to plug it back into my network and forward a port on the outside to it so you could do whatever configuration is required remotely. Or maybe there's more equipment required than just the modems.<br>

<div> I live very close to Monroe (10-20 minutes), and would be
happy to help out on that leg of the tripod if it were
Saturday afternoon or Sunday afternoon. I've got a MikroTik
Metal and a big (unassembled) dish from the hamfast, as well
as random VHF/UHF rigs for coordination. No doubt I could
whip together a support tripod given a day's notice.<br>
