Hey meshheads,

I just got my amateur radio technician ticket, KE8PRB, and in my studies I happened across Amateur Radio Emergency Data Network:

https://www.arednmesh.org/

Like other mesh things, it's basically a flashed WAP, but in this case it's Ubiquiti outdoor units, and with a ham license you have different power limitations.

Like all things amateur radio, it's not legit unless there's a youtube video:

what do you all think?

Looks pretty cool to me.

Man, I just looked up my ham license and I'm still good for like 14 more months!  I'm pretty sure the class and test where I got mine were at the class you arranged back in like 2011.

I wonder if there are any local ham clubs that are doing this already.

~Dave

Good to hear from you Dave,

Other projects that are interesting, though not necessarily mesh networking, are https://www.winlink.org/ for radio email, Packet radio BBS for 80's style communications over VHF and UHF radio, and APRS for GPS style location and messaging over the radio.

Ham radio is a big deal with prepper types, but I would like to put some of my skill to work supporting the protest movement, since I think your typical ham radio type probably isn't into BLM.
