The next step in my quest is to design, test, and implement a network infrastructure containing client nodes, sector nodes, and uplinks (PtP) to Larch Mountain. The terrain at my QTH has many hills, buttes, and obstacles that interfere with direct reception and transmission to Larch Mountain. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

Most of the people in my area would like to use the HamWAN network for ECOMM and portable use. This may require us to be creative and flexible in our approach. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

They have many amazing people interested in this HamWAN topic. I would like to find a contact in Seattle to mentor this effort, as some of the configurations may need to be modified to accommodate this implementation.
