You're unlikely to make it to SnoDEM (Paine). There's plenty of
terrain in your way, as Drew points out. You are likely to make it
to Haystack with a tripod mounted on the roof, as shown in the
signal path here:<br>

Good luck!<br>

<div>Subject: [HamWAN PSDR] Getting connected to HamWAN </div>
<div><br>
</div>
</div>
Hey everyone!<br>
<br>
HamWAN has been on my radar for a couple months and I wanted to
get connected. I have a couple options.<br>
<br>
1) if 5 GHz can pass through double-paned glass, then I could
point an antenna through the window from my work office in
downtown Seattle, connecting with the hubs nearby or across the
water.<br>
<br>
2) if 5 GHz can pass through tree leaves, I could mount the dish
on the mast holding the center of my HF fan dipole, as shown here:
<a href="https://www.qrz.com/db/kj7yls" moz-do-not-send="true">https://www.qrz.com/db/kj7yls</a>
At a height of 30 feet it might be able to connect with Paine.<br>
<br>
3) if 5 GHz can pass through a thin piece of plywood and tree
leaves, I could mount the antenna in my attic. That should be tall
enough to jump over my neighbors house I think.<br>
<br>
Which of these would work? I'm leaning towards the first option.
The second would work but it would just be more logistically
difficult. I believe the third option would suffer significant
signal degradation, yes?<br>
<br>
As far as antennas go, the LHG 5 seems to have pretty good
performance, is within my hobby budget, and should work for the
links that I have in mind, yes? It should also be lighter and more
wind-resistant since its hollow. I should be able to mount that on
a pole, connect PoE, and then work on the routing, correct? If
this is a decent choice, where is a good place to order the
International edition?<br>
<br>
Thanks for any advice with this!<br>
<br>
