Denver Metro Activity

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.

Hello,

There is activity in the state it slow and starting to grow some.  There are node through out the metro area that are going up.  Along with one or 2 in Parker CO.  Please reach out if you are still interested in linking up with a few others.

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.

Hey folks- I am wondering if much has changed in the two years since the last post in this thread. It doesn't look like there are a lot of metro areas nodes reporting from the map. I was thinking about putting up a node at my QTH in southern Boulder county. Is there much interest and participation in the Denver-Boulder area? 

Hi, Bud. Good to see you getting some AREDN activity going in the Louisville area. I will try and get a 5 GHz node with omnidirectional antenna set up again at my QTH in Castle Rock. That's too far for us to connect directly via RF, but I look forward to doing some field testing with you in the near future.
