                                    <div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"> Hello,<br>
                                      <br>
                                      I'm pleased to announce we have
                                      installed a working link to East
                                      Tiger Mountain @ 3000ft ASL
                                      (47.488198°, -121.946706°).<br>
                                      <br>
                                      The uplink is coming from the
                                      Tukwila datacenter and is just
                                      using single-polarization hardware
                                      right now because it was on hand. 
                                      We should upgrade this link
                                      hardware to dual polarity, but I'd
                                      like to wait until the Ubiquity
                                      IsoBeam product hits the market
                                      before we do that.  The present
                                      performance is acceptable at about
                                      50Mbit average.  So this link
                                      upgrade is being skipped in the
                                      phase 1 spend here.<br>
                                      <br>
                                      We have also recently replaced the
                                      Westin router with a virtualized
                                      router that offers far greater
                                      performance, so I was able to
                                      re-use the RB2011 hardware from
                                      the Westin to run ETiger.  This
                                      spend doesn't need to happen at
                                      this site.  Yay re-use!<br>
                                      <br>
                                      I would like to try linking ETiger
                                      with the Snohomish DEM ("Paine")
                                      site.  Since the viability of this
                                      link is unknown, I think we should
                                      do a test using hardware on-hand. 
                                      If the test shows the signals are
                                      good, I'll roll the proper
                                      hardware request into a phase 2
                                      spend.<br>
                                      <br>
                                      We do need to get Sector 3
                                      installed up there though.  It
                                      would be immediately useful, and
                                      would replace our Mirrormont site,
                                      which is only 1500ft ASL, and has
                                      much slower connectivity.  Here
                                      are all the parts to make Sector 3

                                      I'm including 2 antenna mounts in
                                      the mounting hardware category. 
                                      One for the sector, and one for
                                      the test link to SnoDEM.<br>
                                      <br>
                                      We'll also need to find a special
                                      short-depth server to use @
                                      ETiger.  I've been doing some
                                      research on this but haven't found
                                      anything appropriate yet.  Let me
                                      know if you have something or know
                                      of something cheap that still
                                      provides remote KVM with virtual
                                      media support.  All the racks @
                                      ETiger are two-post with very
                                      little depth available, so normal
                                      servers won't work.<br>
                                      <br>
                                      Our present cash balance is about
                                      $340.  If you recall the last
                                      spend request (for the 900MHz test
                                      project), I was able to save some
                                      money by borrowing the expensive
                                      antenna hardware instead of buying
                                      it.  We only purchased the two
                                      900MHz MikroTik modems, and we
                                      also have two Ubiquiti 900MHz
                                      modems on loan so we can do true
                                      A/B testing.  This testing will
                                      likely use the Mirrormont site,
                                      although SnoDEM would be
                                      preferred.<br>
                                      <br>
                                      Board, please vote on this spend
                                      request.  Mailing list members,
                                      feel free to comment before the
                                      board votes.<br>
