[HamWAN PSDR] site survey for W7TAE?

[Daryl Staehle]

Tom-
My station tower  (+/- 120ft) is
N 48 17.064
W 121 54.466
Altitude: 448 ft.
I would mount the antenna on the tower at 55’
Many thanks,
Daryl

If you send me your lat/lon or street address I will run a coverage model for you. What height on the tower should I model it at?

Hi- I am in Oso WA, but my shack is on a ridge with a 72’ tower, and I believe I may very well have adequate line of sight down the Stilly Valley to Paine or Marysville.  Is there someone who could help me with testing the site before I commit to buying equipment??

Yes. They'd make a very excellent client node. If you haven't had a survey take place before, I recommend that you reach out to the community and request that. Nothing worse than getting all the gear just to find out a neighbor's house blocks your link.

I have added these to my Amazon cart. Are these devices PSDR HamWAN compatible?

That wont work; that radio's wireless chip can't go to channel widths less than 20 MHz, and HamWAN uses 10 MHz channels. Generally, you're safe to use mikrotik gear that is not 802.11 AC, unless it has the QCA9892 chip (that's AC and it can do 5/10 MHz channels).

I am curious if this equipment is compatible with the PSDR HanWAN infrastructure;
