[HamWAN PSDR] Coverage Question

[Donald Rotolo]

Hi Richard,

 

The tower you need to be able to see is located near 48.687945, -122.361682.  Get binoculars or a telescope and, using a map program (e.g., Google Maps) point your looking glass at the mountain. 

Looking out the back of your house, it is a bit to the left of straight out.

If you can see the towers (there are three, 2 together and one off to the southwest a few hundred feet) you should be good.

 

Note that WB7FHC, not far from you, has what appears to be an operational link. Perhaps contact them, as they’ve gone through all this already?

 

73,

Don N2IRZ

Hi There,

 

I am currently researching how best to use my recently gained General license.  I live at 7510 Sunset Dr, Blaine WA (actually in Birch bay) and your coverage map looks encouraging.  I have easy access to my roof (Widow's Walk) on my 3-story house so can get some height for Ae installation.

 

I am also about to join PNWDigital.net as I have a DRM Anytone D578.  I am part a patriot/ham group in the Sedro Wooley/Mount Vernon area and we are looking at ways to keep in touch by radio and gain internet access in an emergency.   This all looks promising to me.

 

Regards

 

Richard, KK7BPM
