[FARC] [MARC-MD] Hinternet Backbone -searching for tower space

[William "Bill" Kisse]

I recommend you use Ubiquiti's 3.4 Ghz. equipment on our Amateur Radio frequencies.

Use them or lose them!

A very clean band with a low noise floor as we're currently not sharing with any other service.

I have a reseller in North Carolina who will sell us the equipment.

Email me privately and I'll provide the information.

73,

>A group of hams, including yours truly, is interested in building a high speed Hinternet backbone using radios.  We will use Ubiquiti equipment: small directional antennas with attached radios operating at 5 GHZ. Well located towers will have a second OMNI antenna(s) for connection by local clients (band not yet determined) (very much like a WISP would do)
> 
>If you want to lend us tower space near the top of your tower, please reply offline to wn3r.us at gmail.com with the following info and more information will be sent to you:
> 
>Contact info
>Tower Height
>Your address
>Your longitude and latitude
>Whether or not power is available at the base (if no power, we will provide solar panel and batteries)
> 
>We are also looking for volunteers to climb towers to do the install. Let us know if you want to help fund the equipment installed on your tower. The radio is mounted to the antenna and power is PoE at 24 vdc, 1 amp.
> 
>We are looking to include as many counties as possible in the state of Maryland and the city of Washington DC
> 
>Once the backbone is built we plan to fill in coverage with HSMM-MESH equipment operating with special software developed by hams.
> 
>If you can help connect us with those who control rooftop space willing to work with hams, please tell us that as well.
> 
>Many thanks.
