[HamWAN PSDR] Wind Storm Updates

[Nigel Vander Houwen]

It’s hard to know precisely, and the power controller up there is configured to shed some things before others.

I’d estimate that everything will keep going 10-12 hours, after which the sectors will be powered off, leaving the router and the backhaul links live to maintain overall connectivity to the site, and keep backhaul paths open for the rest of the network as long as possible, for maybe another 12ish hours.

The battery bank there isn’t huge, but certainly enough to get through reasonable power outages like we saw today.
