Yesterday, Mischa (PA1OKZ) and I went to the tower in Hilversum to do some maintenance on PI2NOS. We took time to mount the first HAMNET-dish directing to PI1AMS / PI1RYS in Amsterdam-West (25km). The dish is located indoor behind a window about 110 meter HAAT. The Amsterdam site will be 55 meter HAAT. Line of Sight shoud not be a problem.
The Amsterdam site wlll be connected in the first week of januari 2015. We’re quite curious about the SNR-ratio’s. The link will be tested with 1 Watts EIRP in the ISM band until a license is in. Don’t mind the sticker on the dish. That was for identifying the different links in my lab set-up at home.
Update: The Amsterdam site is connected by Peter, PA3PM. We have a link over 29km distance. Still some improvements to make, but since we’re using Wifi in the ISM bands with the reduced ISM power-levels, it’s not bad at all. The received signal is -73 dBm (S9+20 dB!), using 5 dBm transmit power on a 27 dBi dish in Hilversum (1 Watt EIRP).

Wij hebben afgelopen JOTA met zo’n setje gewerkt om breedband internet op de blokhut te realiseren (blokhut zit helaas aan het einde van een koper lijntje)
PA6JAM/J, het landelijke station was op bezoek, dus er was een goede snelle verbinding benodigd.
Het setje heeft het hele weekend onafgebroken en storingsvrij, perfect dienst gedaan.
Mooi spul.
