I plan on going. I'll put up
I plan on going. I'll put up my pole mounted node on top of my car with a camera out in the parking lot. Probably 2.4, but I might consider adding 5G with a MikroTik Disc Lite 5ac, though that'll have a penalty on the batteries.

Thanks

Well I WAS just going to attend hamvention, but now you're forcing me to bring some radios and participate. I'll put a 2 and a 5 on the roof of the car while we're there.

Hamvention: staying overnight?
All:

If you are staying overnight at an area motel, you may choose to review our infrastructure coverage,
then request a room on an upper floor on a favorable side.

Thank you!
Thanks to Chuck, Bill, Jim and Tim for setting up this network connection!

Just curious, how reachable
Just curious, how reachable is the 2.4GHz node from the school parking lot? When I looked at the map, it looked like the school might be in the way....

Hi, Chrissy:

Hi, Chrissy:

Which school?
Give me the lat/lon or address of the school and I'll create a path plot at http://heywhatsthat.com/profiler.html
I am aware of only one 2397 MHz activation and it was in downtown Xenia.
Currently, we have 0 users on outdoor nodes on 2.4 GHz.
