Most of those I still have on file and can forward to you. One of the stronger possibilities since last year is there are spots in Coupeville that have LOS to Lookout in Mt Vernon/Bellingham. Oak Harbor could be covered by a “bounce” off of sector from Coupeville, and from there it is a matter of filling in the gaps. The Blyn installation going up should also open up some possibilities that we didn’t have before last weekend <g>.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Let me know your current list of desired locations to cover and I’ll see how many of them I already have on file and add the others.

I am the President of the Island County ARC on Whidbey and the Island County ARES/RACES EC/RO. We are looking at creating a digital network on the Island for EMCOMM using packet and Winlink both VHF/UHF and HF. We have looked at HamWan for the island before but our EOC’s do not have line of site. The island has lots of trees and topography that makes line of site anything difficult. We do have some hams that live near the water that might have HamWan access, especially when Blyn comes online. Most of these hams are recently new and don’t know much about HamWan. I was wondering if there was someone who could do a Zoom presentation introducing HamWan to our club on July 25<sup>th</sup>. The Zoom would start shortly after the meeting is called to order at 9:30am. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Bob Stephens AF9W<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>President, Island County Amateur Radio Club<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Island County Amateur Radio Emergency Coordinator<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Island County RACES Radio Officer<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Home: 360-579-4257<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Cell: 520-576-3087<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
