[HamWAN PSDR] VOTE: Breakfix Modem and Router Replacements

[Nigel Vander Houwen]

Evening all,

Thanks to all who joined the call this evening.

The vote to spend approximately $250 on replacement equipment for our Baldi and Haystack sites was approved by the board, 3-0.
The vote to spend approximately $400 on new equipment for our Westin edge pointing at Queen Anne and Gold was approved by the board, 3-0.

I’ve asked Cory to take care of getting those orders in for us. Thank you very much Cory.

I’d like to make a note that much of this spending is supported by donation matching. If you donate time or money to HamWAN, please check with your employer to see if they’ll do any donation matching. In some cases it can double your money, or provide extra money, when you’ve donated your time to the project. We are a registered 501(c)(3).

Donations in money and time are our only revenue, and the sole way we build the network. We are extremely excited to continue to expand and progress the network and bring ever more online.

Thank you,
Nigel Vander Houwen
President
HamWAN
