Hi Kelly,<br>
<br>
After Chris is done building out the SSI site, you'll need a way to
mount an antenna with line-of-sight to it. The PNW is full of
trees, which are great at absorbing 6GHz signals. If you have a
tower or some kind of clear shot through the trees, then you'd be
all set when the time comes.<br>

<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>

and it’s a peninsula that hangs off of Canada. To get
to here, you have to go through two borders. It would
be wonderful If we could hook up to the HamWan system.
I live on the south side of Point Roberts, and my Grid
Square is CN88LX36. I am willing to pay for the
equipment if your group thinks it would work, and be
able to hook up to Orcas Island or Victoria, Canada.
I would need lots of help because of my computer and
net working skills are weak. </font></div>
