Nay. The proposal is approved.<br>
<br>
Let's get spendy.<br>
<br>
As an aside, one forethoughtful HamWAN member bought out the
entire Baltic Networks stock of 5SHPn modems in anticipation of
this. They're available there @ $15 less than anywhere else. We
should have a decent deal on these in this round. We'll still
need to get 4 more on top of that purchase though.<br>

We're moving into a busy deployment season. We must be
ready to capture sites for expanding the HamWAN network as
they become available. The sites don't work on our
schedule, we must be ready to work on theirs. The
discussions we're holding with site owners are indicating
we're about to need 1-2 more sites worth of gear in the
next few weeks. This spending request is to approve a
purchase of enough equipment to stand up 2 cell sites,
with a spending limit of $4000. It should come in just a
little above $3000 from what I can tell.<br>
<br>
Despite the low current donation levels, we have a credit
limit of $8000 we can use. I believe it'd be best to get
the network on the air, allow the user base to expand, and
then pay down the initial build-out costs. The only
reason we have anything on the air right now is because of
this policy. We do have enough cash on hand (about $1400)
to make interest payments on this debt for a year should
the fund raising continue to be a challenge even with a
larger network footprint. Since my report of last week's
fund raising, we've raised another $100 dollars, making
for a total of $220 raised in the last week. I'm trying
to hang on to at least $1000 of cash as a float in case of
emergencies, so we're still shy $1100 on the cash-only
cell site purchase.<br>
<br>
Directors, please cast your votes. My vote is for
approving this spending. Voting will close 24 hours from
the time of this email. (Monday, just after 7PM PST) List
members, feel free to talk to directors to influence
votes.<br>
