I'm just starting with AREDN, and according to the map am the only one in the valley (CA 49/20 corridor; halfway between Sacramento and Lake Tahoe). With no other platforms within reach over the air, I thought a tunnel could provide a "seed" to get started here, and hopefully entice others to join.
What would be a recommended approach to tunnel "out of the valley"?
Come fire season and/or PSPS (Public Safety Power Shutoff) we never know what options for communication will remain.
Thank you,

Your nearest neighbor, 10 miles, WH7DH, has a tunnel installed, but no email address at qrz. Updated 7 weeks ago.
Next nearest neighbor, 35 miles, KQ6EO, no tunnel, email available, updated 20 months ago.
Next nearest neighbor, 57 miles, AD6DM, has tunnel, email available, updated 6 weeks ago.
I suggest you write a note to WH7DM and email KQ6EO and AD6DM.
Is there a local ham radio club? With newsletter or email bulletin?
I hope this helps,
Chuck
Yes, I am a member of the local (Nevada County) amateur radio club as well as ARES, but AREDN has only been mentioned in passing.
I will ask again on the net tonight if someone else has any nodes operational, and will reach out to the three operators you've listed.
