I have setup my first 5Ghz node in Madera county at my house and am hoping we can get a mesh going across Madera and eventually Fresno county. We just restarted the Madera county ARES group and have a weekly net on the W6WGZ (147.180+) repeater PL 146.2 on Wednesdays at 19:00 PDT. One of our topics and interests is to get AREDN up and running, and meshed with neighboring counties.

Recovering from a back injury, so it will be a week or two hopefully before tower work. Second CPE510 can cover to Madera if there is a request or possibly be put up at Friant or Auberry locations. Friant is blocked to Fresno, but I believe clear from about 240 through around 160 degrees.
