One possibility I've thought of is to swing one of the unused PtP dishes toward Chehalis, since we're only getting a couple Mb/s to that site with the sector backfeed config. I believe at least two dishes that pointed at DNR sites are still up there.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Of course, the best solution is to get the Bawfaw island back onto the network.
