AREDN® Ambassadors

The AREDN® team is pleased to announce the start of a new program to recognize people who are actively contributing to spreading the word about how hams can use our 21^st century mesh networking technology to provide high-speed data communications when disasters strike.

We call these special people “AREDN® Ambassadors”.

These are key members of our community who:

• Perform a significant amount of testing to help us verify new features and bug fixes and uncover new flaws.
• Improve feature sets
• Identify new equipment which extends our supported platforms
• Donate their time and effort to building and operating mesh networks
• Promote the AREDN® Project through presentations to clubs and hamfests
• Engage local government, hospitals and other served agencies in discussions about how hams can provide 21^st century solutions to emergency communications needs
• Constantly improve their networking skills
• Commit to support and advise local hams about methods to build successful networks
• Develop new applications and uses for an AREDN® mesh network

We are proud to announce our first group of AREDN® Ambassadors. They are:

Orv Beach, W6BI
Mark Herson, N2MH
Karen Herson, KD2KHJ

Congratulations to each of you!
