[HamWAN PSDR] Fwd: HamWan in Point Roberts

[Chris S. Munz-Michielin]

Hi Kelly,

As far as I know there's no HamWAN site on Orcus Island yet (although I 
think there has been some discussion about a potential site there in 
future), however, we are planning some expansion of the BC extension of 
HamWAN PSDR, which would provide coverage to Point Roberts.

Ideally, we're hoping to deploy a full cell site on South Saltspring 
island, which would link back to our existing Langford site (just west 
of Victoria) and possibly to the BC Lower Mainland as well.  The site 
we're looking at on Saltspring is in grid square CN88GR and has good 
line of sight to Point Roberts.

We have a lot of work to do before the site becomes live (starting with 
constructing a building) but we're optimistic about having something on 
the air towards the summer of this year.  Stay tuned!  I'll be sure to 
post some updates as things get rolling!

Cheers & 73,
Chris
