[HamWAN PSDR] hamwan availability

[Doug Kingston]

You need clear line of sight and trees are a problem.  I think you
have high trees surrounding your tower.  You antenna needs to be positioned
so it clears the trees, either over them or through a gap in the tree line.
Trees and 5GHz don't play nice together.
