    <p>Hi Kelly,</p>
    <p>As far as I know there's no HamWAN site on Orcus Island yet
      (although I think there has been some discussion about a potential
      site there in future), however, we are planning some expansion of
      the BC extension of HamWAN PSDR, which would provide coverage to
      Point Roberts.</p>
    <p>Ideally, we're hoping to deploy a full cell site on South
      Saltspring island, which would link back to our existing Langford
      site (just west of Victoria) and possibly to the BC Lower Mainland
      as well.  The site we're looking at on Saltspring is in grid
      square CN88GR and has good line of sight to Point Roberts.</p>
    <p>We have a lot of work to do before the site becomes live
      (starting with constructing a building) but we're optimistic about
      having something on the air towards the summer of this year.  Stay
      tuned!  I'll be sure to post some updates as things get rolling!</p>
    <p>Cheers & 73,<br>
      Chris<br>
    </p>
