[HamWAN PSDR] New Node - Guidance on buying hardware and feasibility of link from my QTH

[Doug Kingston]

First you need confirm you have line of site access to one of the HamWAN
sectors (as discussed in this thread).  If you have that access, you will
need your own client dish:
http://hamwan.org/Standards/Component%20Engineering/Client%20Hardware.html
and a way of mounting it.
Finally, you will need to configure it:
