[HamWAN PSDR] City of Kirkland

Tue Jul 17 10:33:27 PDT 2018

There has been some discussion about a directory service, but none has been implemented yet. If there is something you’re interested in specifically, please reach out off list so we’re not spamming everyone.

If you would like to get a phone (or more) set up on the system, please email netops [at] hamwan [dot] org with the details.

>> I agree with the recommendation by Tom Hayward for the mANT30 antenna with RB912.  You can add (or not add) a radome to that. The radome can help reduce interference with a second dish if you end up setting up two links. You may or may not find it more aesthetically acceptable with the radome, a matter of personal preference – but that might be a factor in getting your City to accept it.

>> You will need true line of sight (visual, clear path) to one of the HamWAN sector locations. For a second dish, you’ll need the same to a second sector. Google Earth can give you a good start in determining if you have line of sight, followed by visit to your rooftop with binoculars. Lastly, once you feel confident you have a shot, invite someone with a dish or panel to visit with you and do a test shot.  Is your City Hall at 123 5th Ave, Kirkland? It looks like a two story building at that address? If so, it looks like you should be able to shoot to Capitol Park (in Seattle) and to Haystack. See attached.

>> When ordering the routerboard, you need to be very careful to make certain you order the international version.  The US version is not capable of being tuned to the necessary frequencies to shoot to a HamWAN sector.  Some vendors will require you to sign a form acknowledging FCC rules for use of those frequencies, and provide a reference to, or copy of, your ham license before shipping you an international version.

>> The run from the HamWAN dish/routerboard to your radio room is outdoor rated Cat5e Ethernet cable. No coax runs are required (they exist only between the routerboard and the LNB on the dish).

>> Something further to consider once you have HamWAN is adding IP telephony at your EOC.  We currently have that capability at the Seattle EOC, the Snohomish County EOC, a couple of hospitals. We will soon have it at Washington State Emergency Management Division at Camp Murray. There is little hope at the present time to get it at King County RCECC due to tower constraints and lack of line of sight.  Of course, IP telephony can be added without the HamWAN link, but the whole idea for emergency communications is to have a totally independent communications link outside of commercial interconnectivity.

>> All good stuff to think about. Many here are happy to help you formulate your thoughts and ideas for presenting to your emergency management office.
