[HamWAN PSDR] Mikrotik DynaDish 5 + Beacon Hill

[j sweeney]

I've got one configured and ready to go, if you want to give it a try. 

I've had better luck with https://www.streakwave.com in terms of product availability.  They do require a bit of paperwork to get the international versions.

>> Yeah the international version is a tad hard to get here it seems… Baltic Networks stocks it – and its cheaper than amazon right now, but with shipping it wont get here before I head off on a trip… so its going to be a couple weeks till I can get it up it seems.  The one I ordered off amazon is going back today (advertised as international, opened the box and its -us).

>> I might actually order a couple… according to haywhatsthat, I have LOS to Cap Park (although trees might be an issue..), Haystack (although its 30miles), and Baldi (35miles…) as well as a 0.2mile clear shot to Beacon. Ill see what I can get connected to here 😊

So… datasheet wrong by chance? Or should I just be looking at using something else.
