<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> 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> 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>

<div> I'm flexible within the 10-6 constraints.<br>

<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>
