It's powered by a 100 watt solar panel (and a small lead-acid battery) to keep the radio up 24x7. The 100 watt solar cell produces more than enough power to keep the radio up and the battery topped off, even on overcast days. There are some considerations when using battery for powering the radios--mainly the voltage drop over cat5 cable. <br></div><div><br></div><div>I'm planning to swing the dish a few degrees clockwise once the Blyn sectors come online. Right now Blyn only has point-to-point connections to SnowDEM and Triangle Mt.</div><div><br></div><div>John kx7jm</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div data-zbluepencil-ignore="true" style="" class="zmail_extra"><div><br></div><div id="Zm-_Id_-Sgn1">---- On Tue, 14 Jul 2020 20:31:58 -0700 <b>Dylan Ambauen <dylan@ambauen.com></b> wrote ----<br></div><div><br></div><blockquote style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 6px; margin: 0px 0px 0px 5px;"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">Hi Bob,<br></div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Good to hear from you again, we met at Valley Camp last year.

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. <u></u> <u></u><br></p><p class="" style="margin: 0px;"><u></u> <u></u><br></p><p class="" style="margin: 0px;">Bob Stephens AF9W<u></u><u></u><br></p><p class="" style="margin: 0px;">President, Island County Amateur Radio Club<u></u><u></u><br></p><p class="" style="margin: 0px;">Island County Amateur Radio Emergency Coordinator<u></u><u></u><br></p><p class="" style="margin: 0px;">Island County RACES Radio Officer<u></u><u></u><br></p><p class="" style="margin: 0px;">Home: 360-579-4257<u></u><u></u><br></p><p class="" style="margin: 0px;">Cell: 520-576-3087<u></u><u></u><br></p><p class="" style="margin: 0px;"><u></u> <u></u><br></p></div></div></div><div>_______________________________________________<br></div><div> PSDR mailing list<br></div><div> <a target="_blank" href="mailto:PSDR@hamwan.org">PSDR@hamwan.org</a><br></div><div> <a target="_blank" href="http://mail.hamwan.net/mailman/listinfo/psdr">http://mail.hamwan.net/mailman/listinfo/psdr</a><br></div></blockquote></div><div>_______________________________________________<br></div><div>PSDR mailing list<br></div><div><a target="_blank" href="mailto:PSDR@hamwan.org">PSDR@hamwan.org</a><br></div><div><a target="_blank" href="http://mail.hamwan.net/mailman/listinfo/psdr">http://mail.hamwan.net/mailman/listinfo/psdr</a><br></div></div></blockquote></div><div><br></div></div><br></body></html>
