[SGVHAK] Broadband Hamnet

[James McDuffie]

The Pasadena Amateur Radio club looks like it will have a presentation
of interest to people on this list:

Gary Wong W6GSW: Broadband Hamnet

Broadband-Hamnet™ (BBHN, formerly called HSMM–Mesh™) is a high speed,
self-discovering, self-configuring and fault tolerant wireless computer
network.  While the developers’ focus is on emergency communications,
BBHN can be uses for many applications.

Originally designed to use low–cost Linksys routers repurposed for
operation on Amateur frequencies, BBHN is now available for Ubiquiti
equipment.  Others are experimenting with BBHN using Raspberry Pi
computers.
Among BBHN’s many uses are voice communication, file sharing, email,
streaming video and Internet access.  The presentation will include an
overview, the process of installing BBHN and demonstrate some of these
applications.
Gary S. Wong, W6GSW, focuses most of his Amateur Radio efforts on
emergency communications.  Interested in digital communications, he has
operated a Winlink RMS Packet gateway since 2010, supporting local
Amateurs, NTS and emcomm activities. Gary is active in the Los Angeles
Section of the Amateur Radio Emergency Service and also supports a
number of local CERT groups and other organizations.

Their club meets on the fourth Tuesday of every month at 7 p.m., except
in December, at the Walnut Center location of Kaiser Permanente, 393 E.
Walnut Street, Pasadena.

Note that the website says the meeting is today, but I am almost 100%
sure that is wrong. They always meet on Tuesdays as it says above.
