[HamWAN PSDR] Pacific County sites / planning - input needed

[Rob Salsgiver]

Greetings all,

 

Been playing some catch-up as I get ready for MHDC this weekend and was
working on some mapping.

 

I laid out some potential routing based on the email chain that was going
around.  There are a couple of sites that I didn't see GPS coordinates for,
so they are left off for the moment.  These are Long Beach, North Cove, and
Radar Ridge.  If someone can get me coordinates for those I can add them to
the map.

 

Snapshots of the map are below.  They show the primary sites I have
coordinates for, and their (combined) expected coverage.  

 

Photo 1 (below) shows the basic routing being discussed.



 

Photo 2 below shows the anticipated LOS coverage from these sites.
Additional information (GPS coordinates and names) of the EOCs and/or other
sites of interest to connect to the system can be placed on the map to show
a first-draft of whether they are likely to be in a possibly covered area.
Right now it was easier to show total coverage with the same color.  Each
site can be assigned a separate color to determine which (client) sites
would be service by which (cell) sites.  It is much easier to distinguish
separate colors if the map is zoomed in and not covering such a wide area.

 

 

Misc Notes:

1)       BawFaw/Boistfort - I don't know the geography down there, but when
I put the GPS coordinates for Boistfort in, it covered our existing BawFaw
site exactly.  If these are not in fact the same sites, I need better
coordinates to get them split.

2)      The URL for you to look at this map directly is:
<https://caltopo.com/m/UT9N> https://caltopo.com/m/UT9N.  The map is
read-only, but you should be able to zoom in and move around.  

 

Information requested:

1)      If there are additional sites to be considered to establish pathing
(Long Beach, North Cove, and Radar Ridge, etc) let me know.  I need site
name and GPS coordinates (UTM preferred)

2)      If you would like to see EOCs or other client sites shown on the
map, I can do that as well.  Need the same info as above.

3)      If you want close-ups with coverage colors changed (example:  KO
peak as yellow and Megler as red), I can do that as well.  Let me know what
sites you want to see and I'll set it up.  Zooming in with different colors
would show for example which uplink site would best serve a given EOC /
client site.

 

For the moment I would like to consolidate all of the information so we can
all be working off of the same map.  I know there are some folks in Portland
that this could be helpful to as well, and might bring secondary paths back
into Pacific County from down there.   Once the map is fairly static I have
no problem duplicating it or dumping datasets for others to use.  

 

Give me a shout if you have any questions.  You can also shoot me info
off-list at rob at nr3o.com

 

Cheers,

Rob Salsgiver - NR3O
