here is an email that i am sending out, anf you can help or you are interested plase let me know. Hello everyone, I know you looked at the subject line and thought what in the world, well let me explain. Central
Florida hsmm group and several in the Palm beach county HSMM group are
wanting to get some people from your group who maybe comming to Orlando
next year to either speak at a forum or give us a over view of what has
worked for your group. Our goal is to bring as many hsmm groups together
as possible to exchange ideas and info about succes and failure. This
exchange of info i believe will benifit HSMM in general. This has
been started because i found verly little info when i started 7 or 8
months ago on how to get started and what to do with hsmm.. I want to
encourage groups like yours, help promote hsmm, and to provide places
that hands on experimentation can be done. I have several things this
year we plan locally to have some workshops. But our aim is to have a
forum or symposium with as many HSMM groups that we can, and even
promote bring your node and lets build a HSMM net during hamcation that
will be a test bed for what happens when you have a large number of
nodes on the air (will the network handle 200 nodes? what isues arise
(aside from RF issues)? Plus it will be a great place to demistate HSMM
to an audiance from all over the world (they come to Orlando for the nice warm winters we have and to visit Disney World).
We are starting to plan now, because we would like as much input and
participation as we can muster. I realize you are not local but you can
have a part in this, if you are willing to lend a hand. One goal that i
want to try is to tunnel to groups like yours and see if we can do video
feeds thru the HSMM net acrross the county thru tunneling (yes i know
it is not ham radio at that point, but it will prove the connect
ablility). If all goes according to plans even have a few participate in
the forum via skype or google hangouts. As i get feedback and interest i will report back from time to time to update you all on the status.
you can email us to let me know your are interested me Tom KD4WOV at kd4wov@earthlink.net or look for me on Google hangouts JC NT4K at nt4k@cfl.rr.com
aditional contact would be Darrell kk4IT
