A few years ago I moved to Seattle from Portland, where I had volunteered with MCARES and PBEM. Recently, I've been considering purchasing a home in the Toledo/Chehalis area. I see that Toledo has fiber but Boistfort/Ceres/Meskill/surrounding areas have very poor internet service coverage.</div><div style="font-size: 17px;" class="">One of my requirements is to have (relatively) fast home internet, so this is a problem! Being a wireless mesh nerd, I'm mulling over the idea of starting a nonprofit WISP to bring coverage to myself and others in the area.</div><div style="font-size: 17px;" class="">I see there's a site up on Boistfort Peak/BawFaw. I know that HamWAN itself can't be used for internet access, but is tower space available for this purpose (e.g. a few Ubiquiti radios & antennas)?</div><div style="font-size: 17px;" class=""><br class=""></div><div style="font-size: 17px;" class="">Thanks,</div><div style="font-size: 17px;" class="">Pavel</div></body></html>
