[HamWAN PSDR] Intercept a HamWAN Station

[Paul Sundquist]

I’ve had good luck with this tool

Put both coordinates in this tool and you’ll get an idea if mountains or hills are in the way. A visual spot is always the best.

I built a Hamwan dish system that attaches to the trailer hitch of my truck that can remotely scan the sky in a xyz position searching for a Hamwan signal (Yes line of sight).  I planned on trying this before the Hamwan was removed from Green/Gold Mountain and I never got to try it.
