Hello. I attempted to connect my MikroTik RB LHG-5nD to the Larch Mountain this morning. I purchased the "International" version of the modem. I followed the Client Node Configuration directions listed on the HamWAN webpage, with no reported errors. The modem would not detect any HamWAN sectors. Will the currently published Client Node Configuration online work for Larch Mountain? Are there any additional configuration settings needed specifically for Larch Mountain? I hope to document all of the configuration and setup procedures to help other ham radio operators in Vancouver, WA and Portland, OR region. Thanks Scott, N7DOD --- New Outlook Express and Windows Live Mail replacement - get it here: https://www.oeclassic.com/
Glad you asked. Larch is on a different frequency, due to interference with someone else's gear. Standby for the frequency, I'm sorry I don't know what it is. On Sat, Jul 21, 2018, 19:53 Scott J. Burrows <sburrows97211@comcast.net> wrote:

Larch S3 is on the standard HamWAN S3 channel, 5880 MHz. Marc KD7RYY was able to connect with the standard client configuration instructions, so you should be able to too. Make sure you have clear line of sight to the mountain, no trees or anything in the way. I find it helpful to visit a park on a hill or something to test new client equipment with a clear view.

Good evening all My name is Steve, VE7CBH. I have been lurking on this list for some time now waiting for the right opportunity to further things along. What I was waiting for was the link from Mt Brenton VE7RNA repeater site just west of Chemainus BC to the BCWARN system. That link has now been commissioned. https://www.bcwarn.net/intermapper/rf-map.html Mt Brenton is at 4000 feet, and has a shot into WA. Haystack @ ~140KM is a possibility. Is there any interest to pursue this link? Steve de VE7CBH From: PSDR [mailto:psdr-bounces@hamwan.org] On Behalf Of Scott J.

Hi Steve, I wasn't sure what this had to do with Larch Mountain, so I changed the subject. I hope you don't mind. 140 km would be quite the shot for 5 GHz! We are planning to install at Lookout Mountain very soon. That shot would only be 112 km--a lot, but a little more realistic. Let's see if we can pull that off. Are you active with BCWARN? What sort of peering arrangement is desired with HamWAN? It would be nice for our respective EOCs to be able to communicate via the microwave path. Tom KD7LXL
Good morning Tom I will send this note to the BCWARN admin team. CVARS is now active with BCWARN as a ‘client’ being as we are the end of the link for now. A presentation in 2010 written by Duncan Meakins and a YouTube by one you members both expressed a desire to connect. I am not sure if the fine print both with FCC and ISED will allow this link but it I think that peering the two networks would be a very good thing. It could give Triangle a redundant path etc. Anyway, off to work Steve VE7CBH From: PSDR [mailto:psdr-bounces@hamwan.org] On Behalf Of Tom Hayward Sent: 22 July 2018 21:51 To: Puget Sound Data Ring <psdr@hamwan.org> Subject: Re: [HamWAN PSDR] Mt Brenton On Sun, Jul 22, 2018 at 8:08 PM Steven Bradshaw <ve7cbh@gmail.com <mailto:ve7cbh@gmail.com> > wrote: Good evening all My name is Steve, VE7CBH.
