[44net] I gave a talk tonight.

I gave a talk tonight at one of our local clubs to see if any other local amateurs are interested in AMPRnet. I tried to stay out of the weeds to just give a general overview and did not present any slides. I did use slides as note cards on my iPad to keep from straying that I have now placed on my AMPR web server (n2xu.ampr.org) for the folks in attendance that might be more interested. There were about 20 or so folks in attendance and I think there are 3 or 4 that are interested. I will be doing another talk at the club where I was once President here in Fort Walton Beach and then for the folks that are more interested I will present another more in the weeds presentation at some point in the future. I'm big on trying to get 44net here on RF (slow 1200 or broadband at 5.8 GHz) down here and need others that are local in order to do so. I might be leveraging expertise here as I try to grow interest... so please bear with me and any new folks I bring aboard. With all that said, is there anyone out there performing intermediate routing... what I mean is anyone running a tunneled gateway and performing routing for other subnets over RF. I may request a second but separate allocation to experiment in that realm... I'd like to learn how to do that. I think it's a natural expansion for times when network connectivity goes out for an area where we can act as an RF gateway between the RF and the tunneled AMPRNet. My eventual goal is I'd like to bring the HAMWAN to the Florida panhandle... I think these are all baby steps to get there. Input, advice ideas and criticism are all welcome. -- Tom Cardinal/N2XU/MSgt USAF (Ret)/BSCS/CASP, Security+ ce
