[HamWAN PSDR] PSDR Digest, Vol 120, Issue 3

[Dick Illman]

Rob,

In Jefferson County, we use HamWAN for emergency preparedness. We have links to Lookout and Triangle.

Here are my comments.

1. There needs to be a process to keep the system documentation and mapping up to date.
2. Considering that our focus is emergency preparedness, we would very much like to have backup power capabilities documented as well as the locations and survivability of internet connections.
3. We would very much like to see HamWAN RF links extended to beyond our expected Cascadia Earthquake disaster region.
4. Considering the possibility to network congestion in a major disaster,  can QOS rules be established to prioritize access by known emergency management groups.

73, Dick Illman AH6EZ
Jefferson County ARES EC
