Over ~40 miles of sea, having ~30dB signal variance is normal unless you have spatial diversity, so it's expected to fade out often; it may not necessarily be alignment.

Congrats on the link! You may be the first to use that Canada site from
the USA! Welcome to international packet smuggling. :)
PS: I do notice your link is off now. I hope everything's OK.

Bart,
Thanks! The process of tightening everything down seems to have knocked the alignment out just a bit (The signal strength dropped to about -84dbm). So I think we should be more solid once I can get back up on the roof top and fine tune. At 40 miles link distance the aim needs to be just right...

Hello all,
We put up our first HamWAN connection today at Cape
George (Port Townsend) WA for the Jefferson County
Amateur Radio Club (W7JCR). The client configuration
instructions on the http://hamwan.org site worked
perfectly.
Link is 40.2 mi. -74dbm connected to Triangle Sector 2.
Using
a 2ft dish (30dbi) and radio is Basebox 5 International, RB912UAG-5HPnD-OUT
Radio is on a rooftop 30ft above ground with clear
LOS to Victoria and Triangle.
