orville-k-beach-w6biOur speaker this month will be Orv Beach W6BI. Orv will be bringing us up to date on the progress of the tri-county mesh networking project. Orv is almost single-handedly promoting mesh networking to make this a robust and reliable addition to our bag of emcomm tools. Many of us have mesh nodes deployed, but most of us have not kept up with the latest firmware, equipment and buildout progress. The Mesh community continues to grow and improve.  This will be a very informative meeting and anyone interested in Mesh Networking should make plans to attend.

We had another interesting net tonight with 5 check-ins plus net control Frank, K6FLD. Tonight’s topics included:

  • Will hanging string of 12V LED lights with shielded wire from a Hex Beam antenna cause interference? Why you ask? Because it would look cool and keep the neighbors guessing!
  • Larsen dual-band antenna.
  • Looking to construct 12V battery system to power a mobile shack (trailer) using an inverter, battery, etc.
  • Biometric utility safe that runs on 9V battery and fingerprint draining battery within 2 weeks at which time the safe has to be opened with a key. Possible solution: 6 AA alkaline battery case with 9V snap snaked through small hole in safe or housed within the case.
