[HamWAN PSDR] Connecting to Bellingham (Lookout)

[Stephen Kangas]

Jamie,

Can you or Kenny or someone look into updating the website map to include the Rattlesnake HamWAN cell site (two sectors)?  Interest is increasing among hams here in North Bend area but they want some idea of coverage before buying the client hardware.

Hi all 

I am new to this group and I tried to browse the previous threads to see if this was covered anddid not see anything so if I missed it sorry.

I have purchased the recommended Mikrotik radio and 30db dish, programmed it and I do see the Hamwan channels in the Scan

I am shown in the HamWan coverage area according to the coverage map and I can in fact see Lookout Mtn from where I am at 120M elevation here in Maple Ridge BC. 

Used to connect to the 900 Mhz repeater there with a handheld on low power from here. Dont think the QTH is the problem.

Took the dish and laptop up to do a ballpark test before permanent install but I am getting no signals on the HamWan channels. When I switch to Wifi I get dozens and dozens so it is working. 

Rotated dish 90 degrees just in case I had the polarity wrong, still nothing.

Suggestions please.
