Another Mesh Party?

By popular request, Rob/K7JAO has scheduled the Clark County Public Works Training Classroom at 4700 N.E. 78th St. on 4 February from 08:00am to 4:00pm for folks interested in the High Speed Multi-Media Mesh (HSMM-Mesh) technology.  This event is modeled after the “Mesh Party” that was done in December.

 

If you have HSMM-Mesh equipment and want to set it up in an operational environment with other Mesh enthusiasts or are just interested in seeing what it is all about, you are welcome to attend.  There is not an agenda for this gathering; it will just flow to what the attendees would like to have happen!

 

For those staying over the lunch time, there are several fast food places nearby and a 7-11 right across the street.

 

Membership in CCARES/RACES or the CCARC is not a prerequisite to attend.  This event is open to all licensed amateur radio operators from any location.

 

If you have any questions, contact Rob/K7JAO.
