It's been a couple days since I posted the call for volunteers, and
the replies have started to slow down, so it's probably a good time
for a snapshot. I'm tracking the volunteers in the following
spreadsheet:<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wrbdvsOdrj-lRLBx00X5ieEzF1J2R8HRacm7nCUA1Gs/edit?usp=sharing">https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wrbdvsOdrj-lRLBx00X5ieEzF1J2R8HRacm7nCUA1Gs/edit?usp=sharing</a><br>
<br>
<b>We're really short on climbers</b>, and a little short on
volunteers for Sunday. I can't climb Sunday since I'll have my kid
with me, and need to look after her. I can do ground crew work
though.<br>
<br>
If I've missed your email somehow and you don't see yourself on the
spreadsheet, please let me know.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

<br>
<br>
SnoDEM is in need of some repairs:
<br>
<br>
1) Gold.SnoDEM modem is dead, needs to be replaced.
<br>
2) All the wiring is flailing in the wind since the zip ties broke
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://imgur.com/a/wkghAp0">https://imgur.com/a/wkghAp0</a>). Cables need to be properly
supported, with cable ladder clamping hardware. However, this was
our second site, and we used cable that was too thick to be
compatible with tower cable cushions, so....all the cabling has to
be replaced with proper diameter cable.
<br>
3) The dishes are not shielded, so they pick up way too many local
signals, and each other. Every dish has to be lowered to the
ground, radome removed, and shield kit bolted on, then raised up
again, re-attached, and re-aimed.
<br>
4) Optionally, the sectors may be upgraded to MIMO. This is still
TBD.
<br>
5) Optionally, the last dish may be installed, bearing north for
Lookout.
<br>
<br>
This will require at least 2 climbers on the tower, and a bunch of
ground crew to help with cable hoisting and dish shield
replacement. Each shield will probably take 1 hour to replace,
since they have so many bolts.
<br>
<br>
I'm wondering who would be available and willing to help on the
12th and 13th of May. You don't have to do both days, so let me
know your day-by-day availability if you can help. Please hit

Thanks,
