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/ |

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.

the doodlelabs 70cm mesh radios look very interesting. |
