Major Discussions Topics

  • San Bruno Mountain
    • Plans for San Bruno remain in flux unfortunately
    • Discussions about adding a dish pointing south as well as the original discussions about replacing the NSM5 and retargetting the current sector
    • Plan for Tim (and possible others) to go to the site with a camera and get some good details photos of the place as we really don't have a good idea what's we have there and how it's set up
    • Access still required Matt
    • Possibly other access available via cooperating with Matthew Kaufman (a different Matt) who owns the ham shack at that location.
  • Facebook (Menlo Park)
    • John has a plan for the Facebook site
      • Remove omni node
      • Add Rocket + 90 degree sector pointing at Black Mountain
      • Nanobeam pointing at San Carlos
    • Coordinate access with Isaac
  • ORCA / Fish Ranch
    • No news on Matt
    • Tim & Chris plan to spend a day over the labor day weekend replacing all the switches and doing whatever additional work they can.
    • No immediate plans to put a link between Fish Ranch and Mnt Diablo
    • Possibly coordination with John Cornell to tie Roundtop into this site
  • Possibly new site
