I've thought of it. In order to clear the half-dozen or so houses
in the path of Haystack, I would have to install a tower in my back
yard; mounting the antenna on the east side of my house wouldn't
do, due to the afore-mentioned houses.<br>
<br>
I've also thought of pointing at other HamWAN cells. Somehow, I
have a really good path at 1.2GHz to KB7CNN on East Tiger Mountain:
One watt into a 10dB omni-directional antenna does it. The path to
the Mt. Baldi site just clears the hills west of East Tiger Mountain
by a couple hundred feet (assuming no earth curvature!).<br>
<br>
Capital Hill is also line-of-sight, except for some really big trees
a couple blocks south of me. I also supposedly have line-of-sight
to the TV towers on Queen Anne, but since reception of channel 5
(KING-TV) is problematic, I suspect the same trees are a factor
there.<br>

Have you ever tried pointing @ Haystack?<br>

OK, I don't believe any of you cut down any trees on the 5.9GHz
path to the SnoCo DEM near Paine field, but <b>something
changed</b>:<br>
<br>
Starting about a week ago, the signal levels have increased
about 6dBm. For the past several days I have had more or less a
decent connection:<br>

This is in marked contrast to just two weeks ago, when I
couldn't hold a connection at all (as was typical through the
entire winter).<br>
<br>
Kenny, I thought you told me your connection has been poor
lately. Have you checked in the past week?<br>

Now, if I can just get a couple of you to cut down some trees
(not on my property) in the middle of the night, my
appreciation would be unbounded ... <br>
