[HamWAN PSDR] Connecting to Bellingham (Lookout)

Hi all:

I am new to this group and I tried to browse the previous threads to see if
this was covered and did not see anything so if I missed it sorry.

I have purchased the recommended Mikrotik radio and 30db dish, programmed
it and I do see the HamWan channels in the Scan list.  Yes I have the
international version.

I am shown in the HamWan coverage area according to the coverage map and I
can in fact see Lookout Mtn from where I am at 120M elevation here in Maple
Ridge BC.
Used to connect to the 900 Mhz repeater there with a handheld on low power
from here. Don't think the QTH is the problem.

Took the dish and laptop up to do a ballpark test before permanent install
but I am getting no signals on the HamWan channels.
When I switch to Wifi I get dozens and dozens so it is working.

Rotated dish 90 degrees just in case I had the polarity wrong, still
nothing.

Is Lookout still broadcasting North on 5920?

Suggestions please,


Scott VA7SL
