I just got started with AREDN (but have operated 802.11 links to Santa Cruz island for 10 years) and am wondering whether anyone in Ventura county with view of the mountains behind Santa Barbara / Goleta is interested in trying to link up. My node is N6TVE-WCC-BM2HP-SE60, which is a Bullet M2, located @2100' near San Marcos pass above Goleta pointed SE with a 15dBi Yagi, ch -2 / 10Mhz. I can upgrade to a grid antenna if necessary.

Go to sbarc.org and join their mesh mailing list for starters.
Let me know what your email address is and I'll send you info on joining the Ventura County mailing list if you wish.
SBARC has a digital net on Tuesday nights at 8 p.m. on K6TZ repeater. We hope to link a Ventura County repeater network into it soon so we can join in.
There are also moderately active sub-forums for both counties in the Regional forums here on aredn.org

Orv, thanks for the welcome. I am in touch with folks here (w1uuq and k6lcm). I'm just looking for some fun trying to link over a larger distance all the way into ventura/oxnard. Right now I seem to have some TX problems, I can hear everyone better than they can hear me. Not sure yet what that's about. Maybe insufficient power to the bullet, bad antenna, not sure...
Looks like there is no way to send someone a direct message in these forums :-(. Could you please subscribe tve -at- voneicken -dot- com to the ventura mesh list? Thanks!
