[HamWAN PSDR] [Netops] VOTE: 4 12V / 119Ah AGM batteries & DC PDU for Gold Mtn

[Nigel Vander Houwen]

The board finished our call a few moments ago. Board members in attendance were Bart, Cory and Nigel.

Voting was Yay: 3, Nay: 0.

We’ll be moving forward with the purchases shortly.

Thanks all!
Nigel

The sectors should take about 5.5W each, the NetMetals, 900MHz and CRS125 weren't measured but let's assume 10W each there.  So that looks like 65W total to me, for a runtime of ~88 hours, or 3.7 days.  And oh yeah, the PDU draws a little too.  We can also do load-shedding manually during an outage.
