Greetings! I've recently took an interest in Hamnet and have set up a couple of nodes already. I am actually posting this through a 2 node network with an Internet gateway set up on one of the nodes. Currently this is just a lab setting as the nodes are both sitting on my desk. Regardless, there's a few hams locally that appear to be interested. One of the nodes on my desk actually belongs to a fellow ham and another 2 hams are waiting on gear they have ordered. I spoke about Hamnet at our last club meeting and the club itself may be interested in running a node or two. The biggest problem right now is that we are in a fairly rural area, with only a few hams interested, so I suspect long haul 2.4 GHz is going to be a challenge. We should be able to alleviate some of this with decent antennas and some amps but we'll see. Right now we are trying for a proof of concept only. Anyway, I just wanted to say hi and let you know what we've been working on here on the east coast of Canada :) 73 de VE1XT |
