That would be super if I could reach the Haystack site. Our little community would be quite cut off without power in the event of an earthquake or even something as common as a heavy snow. My hub team is investigating solutions for emergency comms beyond feebly attempting to use voice to convey ICS-213 forms. It sounds like you have something great working already and I'd love to see if it could work for us. </div><div><br></div><div>I'd like to see if it would work at all, with minimal investment. We have a community council with funds to buy equipment if a proof of concept test works out. What would be your recommended kit for seeing if we could make contact? From your online PowerPoint docs, I've read that the Microtik hardware is super hard to configure, but that the Ubiquiti is far easier to set up for people who are not network transport layer engineers.</div><div>Bob</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Oct 2, 2017 at 3:37 PM, Tom Hayward <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:tom@tomh.us" target="_blank">tom@tomh.us</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Bob,<br>

What is your goal? Your location on the west side of the lake should<br>
be well covered by the Haystack site (at 4000' above Sultan). This<br>
will give you routing to all other HamWAN users.<br>

From a propagation perspective, the waterfront communities around Lake Washington have more in common with each other than their respective cities due to line-of-sight challenges. Waterfront communities share the luxury of direct line-of-sight radio communications, especially well suited to hamwan frequencies.<br>
