PSDR HamWAN started to build amateur radio microwave cell sites in 2013. PSDR HamWAN has over 12 cell site in western Washington. PSDR HamWAN continues to grow with the addition of Larch Mountain, WA cell site in June 2018.
HamWAN coverage ranges from BC (WARA HamWAN) to WA to Portland, OR. The above map shows the red coverage areas in Portland, OR, Vancouver, WA, Camas, WA and other areas. It is the largest coverage area microwave network in the Pacific Northwest. It provides free access to all amateur radio operators.
To connect to the HamWAN network you need a Mikrotik modem/router international version that operates NV2 protocol and operates in the amateur radio frequencies of the 5.88 GHz, 5.9 GHz and 5.92 GHz.
Since my home location (WA9ONY QTH) does not have coverage I built a portable HamWAN rig to go. I have spotted 15 different locations that my portable HamWAN works. My distance record is 43 miles with a good signal of Sig -74 NF -125 SN 51.
I hope HamWAN will be expended to Stonehenge Tower, Portland, OR which might provide coverage for my QTH.
HamWAN network provide high speed connection to the Internet. I has seen 1.6 Mps at 21.1 miles and 7.2 Mps at closer distances. Full scree videos are streamed without drop outs.
HamWAN is not a replacement for your ISP. FCC Part 97 rules limit what you can do on the 5.9 GHz amateur radio link that is connected to the Internet. No commercial use or encryption is allowed by the FCC when using amateur radio service.
HamWAN network has a IRC which provides real-time chat with other HamWAN users.
In the Clark County Amateur Radio Club Vancouver, WA USA Digital Group KD7RYY has a HamWAN client operational at his QTH and N7DOD is working a portable HamWAN system.
HamWAN is focused on creating, operating and coordinating free digital networks. These digital networks are used for:
HamWAN is an amateur radio network using the amateur radio frequencies for communication between amateur radio operators. FCC Part 97 regulations are in affect when using HamWAN. Therefore, no commercial communications and messages encoded for the purpose of obscuring their meaning is prohibited. For example, https websites should not be used like https://youtube. Logins using account and passwords should not be used on HamWAN because of the lack of security.

Above Google Earth map shows the Larch Mountain (3,480' elev.) to Bald Peak (1,629' elev.) path and the distance is 43 miles.
This is the longest distance with Internet connection I have achieved using the portable HamWAN MikroTik QRT 5 rig connecting to Larch Mountain cell site.
The Tualatin Mountains on the west side of Portland, OR are the dark green forest band that is
less than half way from Bald Peak to Larch Mountain.
The above image shows the red signal path that starts in the trees and goes north east across the road, field and woods. Bald Peak parking loop does not have a good of Larch Mountain, WA because of the trees next to the east side of the road. The best location is in the south part of Bald Peak in the woods but the tree tops across the field and the telephone wires are in the signal path. I could not see Larch Mountain because of the city dust and haze. I could see the Tualatin Mountains (West Slope) in the distance in the tree tops.
The above image shows a portable HamWAN system used at Bald Peak. At the top is a MikroTik QRT 5 Internation 5 GHz modem connected by LAN to a Linksys WRT54GS WiFi router. Both are powered by 12 Vdc 8 Amp-hour battery. Not shown is the Dell Windows 8.1 laptop on the picnic table connected by WiFi to the WRT54GS. The six foot tripod was acquired at a past SEA-PAC ham fest.

Brett, KG7GDB, Dan, WA7ABU, and David, WA9ONY, tested receiving the 5.88 GHz HamWAM signals from Larch Mountain, WA cell site at Kooswan Ln, Salem, OR.
David's portable MikroTik QRT 5 5.88 GHz HamWAN system with a 23 dBi gain antenna was used for the tests.
Koosaw Ln is a hill close to Brett's, KG7GDB QTH and he had done amateur radio test at lower frequencies at this site.
Brett received permission from the property owners to access their land in side the fence area to do the tests.
The weather was great but the wind shook the 5.8 GHz antenna on the six foot tripod. The signal strength varied and was not constant.
At Koosaw Ln three sites were tested as shown in the above map. Best signal reception was at site three which was the highest.
1.6 mbps data rates was reported by the QRT 5 modem. But, no trace route or Internet connection was made.
The time needed to setup and acquire a signal at each site was pretty short-10 min.
Summary:
Future testing activities.
Brett, KG7GDB, feedback.
The above Google Earth map shows the signal path between Koosaw Lane, Salem, OR (956' elev.) and Larch Mountain, WA (3,480' elev.). The distance is 71.9 miles with heading of 31.9 degrees.
This is the longest distance that David, WA9ONY, has heard the HamWAN Larch mountain signal using the portable HamWAN MikroTik QRT 5 rig. The signal was not strong enough for Internet connection and therefore no SpeedTest.com was able to be measured.
Radio Mobile Larch Mountain to KG7GDB Hill (Koosaw Ln) Path Analysis.
Radio Mobile path analysis predicted signal strength of -86.14 dBm which agreed with site two signal measurements.
See site two photo below for fence gate.

On Sept. 19 and 20, 2018 live video streaming to YouTube using the HamWAN network and a portable HamWAN system was successfully tested. The portable HamWAN system was connected to HamWAN Larch Mountain cell site. YouTube video streaming has the advantages of ease of use for those who are viewing the video. The users only need a web browser and an internet connection to view the streaming video in real-time or later. Multiple viewers can view the video streaming at their leisure and the video is saved on YouTube for future viewing.
Test 1: First experiment with video streaming across HamWAN.
The first test on Sept. 19, 2018 was from location Map ID #8 on the above Larch Mtn. cell site survey. Signal path clear except there are objects in the fresnel zone at ~200 feet as seen in the video. The portable HamWAN system was MikroTik QRT 5 International 5.88 GHz modem connected to a standard Linksys WRT54GS 2.4 GHz WiFi router. Both are powered by a 12 Vdc 8 Amp-hour battery. A Dell Windows 8.1 i7 laptop was used to connect to the 2.4 GHz WiFi router. The Dell laptop has a built in webcam. In addition, a Logitech C920 USB webcam and a Microsoft USB headset with mic was connected to the laptop.
The purpose of this 29 minute streaming video test was to learn how to use OBS (Open Broadcaster Software Studio) to stream video over HamWAN to YouTube and to check the streaming video quality using two 720 HD webcams.

Test 2: Change video resolution to see the affect on video frame drop outs.
.
The second test on Sept. 20, 2018 was from location Map ID #3 on the above Larch Mtn. cell site survey. This location is off the red HamWAN coverage map zone for Larch Mountain cell site and it is to the east of the red coverage zone. Signal path has no obstructions in the fresnel zone as shown in the view of Larch Mountain in the third test below. The purpose was to test different video sizes for frame drop outs, and to switch to streaming the laptop desktop.
Setup.

HamWAN signal quality:
Fresnel zone was clear path and the signal was 5 dB weaker than test one above.
Sig of -70 is a rule of thumb for a good signal connection. Sig -69 is one better than -70. In other words, small negative numbers are better than large negative numbers. The Sig -69 was weaker than test one with Sig -65. The weaker signal is most likely because the site is east of the Larch Mountain red coverage area.

The third test on Sept. 20, 2018 was from location Map ID #3 on the above Larch Mtn. cell site survey. Signal path has no near obstructions in the fresnel zone as shown in the above screen capture of Larch Mountain. The purpose was to test C920 zoom with the Logitech software at the same time the OBS was using the C920 webcam. Use the C920 digital zoom to show Larch Mountain. This test was done right after the above second test.

HamWAN signal quality was the same as test two above. Test three was done right after test two.
Test three HamWAN video streaming results.
Todo in future testing.
The VLC media player was used to view the HamWAN Configure Radio Modem MP4 file on the Client Node Configuration web page.
The VLC Media Player was tested on a Windows 8.1 laptop that was connected to a portable QRT 5 connected to HamWAN network.
YouTube was not used for the video test because it uses https which is a secure communications that is not allowed over amateur radio networks by FCC Part 97.
Internet browsers on Windows 8.1 worked fine. This included Internet Explorer, Chrome and FireFox.
These browsers were tested on a Windows 8.1 laptop that was connected to a portable QRT 5 connected to HamWAN network.
Tested Apple iOS FaceTime with HamWAN network and it worked fine for video conference between WA9ONY (iPhone & iPad) and KG7GDB (iPhone).
The HamWAN MikroTik QRT 5 modem was connected to a Linksys WRT54GS WiFi router. Therefore, the QRT 5 connected to the HamWAN network on 5.88 GHz ham band (FCC part 97 operation). The QRT 5 modem LAN port was connected to the Linksys WRT54GS router operating 2.4 WiFi (FCC part 15 operation). The 2.4 WiFi signal was connected wireless to WA9ONY iPhone and iPad which were running Apple FaceTime.
Tested Google Hangouts with HamWAN network and it worked fine to voice only call between WA9ONY (Hangouts on Windows 8.1, iPhone & iPad) and KG7GDB (cell phone).
The HamWAN MikroTik QRT 5 modem was connected to a Linksys WRT54GS WiFi router. Therefore, the QRT 5 connected to the HamWAN network on 5.88 GHz ham band (FCC part 97 operation). The QRT 5 modem LAN port was connected to the Linksys WRT54GS router operating 2.4 WiFi (FCC part 15 operation). The 2.4 WiFi signal was connected wireless to WA9ONY Windows 8.1, iPhone and iPad which were running Google Hangouts.
Google Hangouts can be used to call any cell phone. This is like an auto patch.
Tested Google Hangouts with HamWAN network and it worked fine to video conference between WA9ONY (Hangouts on Windows 8.1, iPhone & iPad) and KG7GDB (Hangouts on iPhone).
One way to send email to other hams is to use WinLink with the HamWAN network. WinLink is a email service design for amateur radio operators using amateur radio frequencies and the Internet.
WinLink was successfully tested between WA9ONY and KG7GDB. WA9ONY used WinLink on a Windows 8.1 laptop that was connected to a portable QRT 5 connected to HamWAN network.The advantages of WinLink is the operator controls the upload and download of email messages. WinLink has a library of forms which include unique forms for emergencies communications.
The disavantage of WinLink is the small email size and small image attachments size limitation.
To send text messages to other HamWAN users use the online IRC chat room. The IRC works with web browsers.
HamWAN IRC room is a good interactive way to ask for help on HamWAN. For example, the IRC room helped me to use the HamWAN webcams and SDR in the below sections.
Mac OSX
The HamWAN supports NTP (Network Time Protocol) to set the time and date on the MikroTik QRT 5 International modem. The time and date are automatically set.
MikroTik WinBOX is used to open a terminal window.
Example terminal session. Note: the time zone is not set correctly.

On August 18, 2018 I successfully received HamWAN 5.880 GHz Larch Mountain cell site signals at Pacific Park.
At first I was not successful doing a traceroute and ping because of two errors in configuring the QRT 5 International. Since I fixed the errors, everything is working fine. This includes ping, traceroute, NTP, and Internet access.
Below is Pacific Park notes and photos.
Above photo is at the west edge of the dog park in the parking lot.

The above map show WA9ONY QTH on the south side of Livingston Mountain which cannot see Larch Mountain.
And that is the reason for building the portable HamWAN setup.

QRT 5 has several versions. Only the International version runs on the 5 GHz amateur radio bands used by HamWAN. Mikrotik QRT 5: RB911G-5HPnD-QRT
Amazon Mikrotik RB911G-5HPnD-QRT QRT-5 Wireless System
Ebay Mikrotik RB911G-5HPnD-QRT QRT-5 Wireless System Intl Version
Caution: The MikroTik QRT 5 (RB911G-5HPnD-QRT) and QRT 5 ac (RB911G-5HPacD-QRT) are different products.
Mikrotik WinBox before connecting to the QRT 5 shows the board model is RB911G-5HPnD and the RouterOS version is 6.42.6.
There are several different ways to update the QRT 5 RouterOS. The below process works on my QRT 5 international.

The above Google Earth map shows the elevation profile between WA9ONY QTH and Larch Mountain, WA. Unfortunately Livingston Mountain blocks line of sight to Larch Mountain.
HamWAN cell site went in to operation June 2018. It covers Vancouver, WA and parts of Portland, OR. It operates as a point-to-point star configuration at 5 GHz. Larch S3 is on the standard HamWAN S3 channel, 5,880 MHz. Clear line of sight to the mountain is needed. Test a new client equipment with a clear line of sight to the mountain at a hill or park.
At the top of this web page is the coverage map for HamWAN Larch Mountain, WA cell.
The Clark County Amateur Radio Club Digital Group had a meeting on HamWAN on July 21, 2018.
