Saturday, May 13, 2023 at 6:00 p.m. please join us at the Nixa Fire Station located at 711 N Main Street in Nixa.
We have a really neat presentation lined up for you at the May club meeting. Willem Schreuder, AC0KQ, the Director for Continuing Education for the RMHAM system in Colorado, will be giving a presentation about the Rocky Mountain Ham Radio Amateur Microwave Network that covers from Cheyene, WY to Albuquerque, NM and consists of 239 sites and 791 devices! Their design, unlike AREDN and HamNet, does NOT use all available addresses. They have designed their system to be robust and be an "amateur radio common carrier" for direct, point to point traffic and NOT an Internet service provider carrying traffic from many different amateur radio entities with traffic entering the network and exiting the network at different places. They are currently working toward coverage out to the 4 corners of Colorado with extensive buildout into New Mexico over the next couple years.
If you are a networking guru, or are curious if this is something that would be a fun project that could be helpful in our region, and would like to hear some of the cool stuff they are doing with their Amateur Radio Microwave Network and the technical aspects behind it, this is a presentation for you! If you cannot make it in person, it will also be available online via Microsoft Teams with a link being sent out here and on Facebook the day of the meeting.
