While the Hamvention tunnel is active,,,

Update: due to poor internet data rates at Hamvention (they are overwhelmed)... the tunnel has been disconnected.  A search for another route is in process, but doesn't look too promising.

FYI, the Hamventions
FYI, the Hamventions localized Mesh grid is working good.  There are 6-7 VoIP phones, 3 cameras, and a host of nodes (Bullets, Nanostations, AirRouters). 
I will be sitting the booth tomorrow (Sat.) - early afternoon.

How are the ch-2 and the ch1 areas working?  I think someone said the the East side was operating on ch1.

I'm certain Bill WA8APB will

I'm certain Bill WA8APB will post an indepth observation about Mesh at Hamvention soon.  Until then, here is some of  what I witnessed...

The comments of those stopping at the booth this year differs from last year.  During the 2015 Hamvention, we heard a lol of "just what is this Mesh?".... "what do you do with it ???"

This year, I am hearing  a lot of: "we're  starting up a Mesh system in our area".  I talked to hams experimenting with Mesh  from all over the US, and one from Canada. The pedestrian traffic that has stopped at the Mesh booth has increased significantly this year.

Is there something we can do
Is there something we can do as a group to improve your gateway connectivity back out of Dayton for next year? Do we need to find a local business and run a 100MB+ P2P link on 3Ghz back to the site?

Mesh was mentioned in a local
Mesh was mentioned in a local Television station report about Hamvention:

http://abc22now.com/news/local/hamvention-takes-over-hara-arena-05-20-2016

it's in the story text as well as in the video.

And as usual, the reporter didn't get everything covered accurately, but it was good exposure nonetheless.
