Some folks in the Austin area are very active with HSMM-Mesh.  At the Austin Summerfest yesterday, they did a presentation that was attended by hams from several other cities in Texas.  It is a really interesting project and has lots of potential uses... especially for weather related emergencies like hurricanes/tornadoes.  



Have any hams posting here set up a node on this network?  http://hsmm-mesh.org/

I had a bunch of them, it was a neat setup. I sold it off off since I was the only one in the area with any nodes. It is fun to experiment with, and I have another wrt router here to setup another one.

I've looked at it, but as previous poster not really any near me yet

I'd planned on trying but my router was too new and wouldn't take the firmware.

Running three nodes KC area, but not much activity otherwise.

I have a few dd-wrt routers in the house. I'm learning more about them then I plan on using them with a raspberry pi running astrix VOIP software to link my repeaters.

the doodlelabs 70cm mesh radios look very interesting.

Did I read that correctly that it is a 5 or 10 MHz wide signal!? I know at the speeds they are running they need a lot of bandwidth but just a few units chew up the whole 70cm spectrum. I could see alot of other 70cm band users being very unhappy. Maybe my ignorance is showing.

There is both. And 900mhz units that would be better for distance too.
