[HamWAN PSDR] VOTE: Baldi LAN expansion and Rattlesnake link

[Kenny Richards]

Bart,

I've seen several of these e-mails about the project, but don't remember
seeing an explanation of a key aspect.

What is the plan to connect the buildings with gigabit Ethernet?  Are you
planning on digging a trench, stringing the CAT5 along the tree's or
something else? Sorry, I am not familiar with the layout or location of
these different buildings. so maybe that is a good place to start with your
plan? Have you received permission from the site owners for this work?

Thanks
Kenny
