Babel Migration?

Based on how quiet it's been, it appears that the migration to Babel is pretty much done, and was pretty much a non-event. Your thoughts locally?

Babel in Las Vegas

Here in Las Vegas Babel only firmware is about 24%. There's 2 or 3 stations refusing to upgrade from OLSR only firmware. To include them, most stations use firmware that supports both protocols.

Those of us running Babel only firmware have no issues. I have 9 Babel only nodes, no tunnels. Of course my nodes filter out those OLSR only users.

Any idea wy they refuse to get off ancient firmware.
Maybe you should ask them if they are still running Windows 95 too.

Working well in Rhode Island,

Working well in Rhode Island, but I still have an array on a fire tower stuck on pre‑Babel because a pesky squirrel chewed through the Ethernet cables. Snow and ice are preventing any progress up there. One node is still running 3.25.10.0 until I can get KB1JFG back up in the spring. I’ll update them from Florida once that’s done. All the others are running 4.26.1.0 very well. I’m also trying to get my Florida group onboard.
