I am also curious about this.
I am also curious about this. Im interested in building a node if there are others out there to connect to. Also what kind of range might be expected with something like a Powerbeam? I see most of the nodes are south of downtown so im wondering if id be able to reach them.

Powerbeam range
The information from Andre K6AH suggests that a very long range is possible with these devices. Very long meaning 50 miles or more.
See his presentation at https://www.arednmesh.org/content/yuma-hamfest and download his Device Selection Speadsheet.

Fort Collins Node(s)

Hey all,

I will be setting up at least 2 nodes in Fort Collins over the next week or so.

Anyone else within a 25 mile radius interested in experimentation and operation?

Slightly more activity
I have added my MikroTik QRT5 and hAP ac lite to the map, just south of DU by University and Dartmouth. The QRT5 shows up on MeshMap as a 2.4G node but it is a 5G radio. I installed the tunnel package on my hAP router but my ISP doesn't allow port forwarding so I can't set up as a server.

I bought the QRT5 while in Simi Valley CA for a couple of months over the holidays. AREDN is very active there, and I was on RF only. There is a weekly TeamTalk net, lots of cameras, weather stations, winlink post office, mesh chat, etc., so I'm glad I got to experience what AREDN is all about and learned a lot, especially from Orv Beach, a Simi Valley resident and AREDN guru.

Sadly, it is a different story here, but this kit is easily made mobile so if anyone has a desire to work the 5G space give me a shout.

Denver, isn't there quite yet
Hi,
I'm just now getting this going, I'll see if I can get this up and running next few weekends. At least if I get mine up there will be a node on the west side, there is one north and south west. I'm setting up a 2.4G node to start. Hope we have a bit more interest here. Anyone in the Denver Radio Club?

thanks,
