Dish alignment
by Ric Merry 27 Oct '19

27 Oct '19

I took advantage of the rain free days and mounted my dish this weekend. I've roughly aligned by sight and level. I have a new dedicated computer on order which should arrive this week. How critical is alignment going to be for me? Thanks in advance! This list has been very helpful to me. Ric, Mount Vernon

MicroTik base box version
by Ric Merry 25 Oct '19

25 Oct '19

This is what arrived today. Although it says it's Type: INTL, it also says Plug: US I'm hoping that just means the power plug is the US version. What does the collective think? Thanks

Router selection
by Ric Merry 24 Oct '19

24 Oct '19

The radio is scheduled for delivery today, I'm very curious to see if I actually get a ROW version. The conversations with StreakWave were confusing. As I'm visualizing the hardware chain I'm just realizing probably need a different router that my Netgear C7100V I use for Comcast cable/voice. Are there any specific recommendations? Should I consider a balancing one? I only vaguely understand what that is but it sounds like I could bring in both HamWan and cable feeds to one. Thanks in advance! -Ric K7iTE Mount Vernon WA

Dish questions
by Ric Merry 19 Oct '19

19 Oct '19

I pulled the trigger and ordered the MikroTik mANT30 parabolic dish antenna (5GHz 30dBi MTAD-5G-30D3) from Amazon which arrived yesterday and the 5GHz BaseBox5 (RB912UAG5HPnDOT) from Streakwave to assure I got the international version, something I was not comfortable with via Amazon. Although I had originally intended to, I did not buy the dish with the precision alignment mount nor did I get the sleeve kit. *Should send the dish back and get the one with the precision mount?* *How about the sleeve kit?* I’m still not sure where I’ll mount the dish, I have an available location on the roof ridge but there are already 3 other antennas on that ridge. I’ve considered mounting under the eaves but mine are very deep and I can’t envision myself hanging over the edge 2 stories up tweaking on alignment. Thanks in advance for your help.

Haystack-S3 changed to 10MHz bandwidth
by Bart Kus 18 Oct '19

If you had a station on there that wasn't using the HamWAN scan-list and therefore didn't re-connect automatically, please update your configuration. This brings the sector back in line with the rest of the network. Thanks! --Bart

Need Power High on Tower
by Kenneth Tolliver 10 Oct '19

10 Oct '19

We hope to put our HamWAN Sectors up at about the 500 foot level on a commercial tower. CAT-6 is limited to 330 feet; then it needs to connect to an active component to then break out a line(with PoE) for each Sector Device(Up to an additional 330 feet). Have any of you put your equipment higher than 330 feet on a tower? How did you get the power up to the Midway device to power the second set of 330 foot PoE lines? Ideas??? 73 Ken Tolliver K7ICY

Hi everyone. I’d hate to sound a fool but I’m not sure how to reply to my earlier post. I just received an email with the most recent posts, and a few reply’s to my earlier query. I just don’t want to reply blindly and end up fouling up any threads. James

Re: [HamWAN PSDR] Westside Connectivity

Larch Mt only covers East Portland and Downtown though. I think there is a small contingent of us West Metro PDX folks eagerly looking for info on the Stonehenge plan so we can get connected.

Hello, I'm wondering about plans for a relay that would be accessible from the west side. I'm in the garden home area. I've heard some tentative reports of a site at Stonehenge, is this still going on? Thanks! -Nate
