orville-k-beach-w6biOur speaker this month will be Orv Beach W6BI. They will bringing us up to date with everything that is going on in mesh networking. There have been a lot of changes in the past 4 years since Orv last presented to out members. A lot of us have mesh nodes deployed, but most of us have not kept up with the latest firmware and equipment. The Mesh community has grown considerably.  This will be a very informative meeting and anyone interested in Mesh Networking should make plans to attend.

We had hoped to return to in-person meetings but with the Delta variant of the virus now going around, we felt it would be a good idea and reassess next month.

We will be having our meeting on Zoom again this month but hope we can resume in-person meetings soon. Officials in charge of our normal meeting facilities have not yet adopted a post-pandemic policy and outside groups are still not allowed to hold meetings there. We hear they are going to revisit this policy later this month, so hopefully we’ll get the go-ahead soon.

We were hoping to have a presentation on Mesh networking this month but had a date mix-up and we are rescheduling to the August. So, this month we are going to talk about the new SpaceX Starlink internet system. Elon Musk has launched an ambitious project to bring internet to the entire globe and how but works is the next generation in communications.

SBARC K6TZ is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.
