If you are ever in the Bothell or Lynnwood area, I can meet you and you're welcome to borrow my dish for a couple weeks if you want to try it out. I have a MikroTik XL HP5 that I ordered from Streakwave after sending in my FCC paperwork. I've used the dish to connect to Haystack Mountain at a 25 mile distance. It's powered over Ethernet and should work out of the box. Let me know privately if you'd like to do this and I can reconfigure it for your callsign and HamWAN node frequency.<br><br>Jesse<br>KJ7YLS<br><br><br>Sent from ProtonMail mobile<br><br><br><br>-------- Original Message --------<br>On Apr 7, 2022, 10:03 AM, Stephen Kangas < stephen@kangas.com> wrote:<blockquote class="protonmail_quote"><br><html xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" xmlns:w="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word" xmlns:m="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2004/12/omml" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40"><head><meta http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=us-ascii"><meta name=Generator content="Microsoft Word 15 (filtered medium)"><!--[if !mso]><style>v\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);}
