Have you tried running home internet on some unlimited LTE plans? I have no trouble running my home internet this way. However, I don't know if you get good cell coverage at home.<br>

<b>Subject:</b> [HamWAN PSDR] Possibility of tower usage for nonprofit WISP?</font>
<div> </div>

<div><span style="font-size: 17px;" class="">Hi all,</span>
<div style="font-size: 17px;" class="">I'm a ham radio operator with an interest in disaster preparedness. 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>
