Hamvention® 2018 Theme Promotes Community Service
As reported by the ARRL, the theme for Hamvention® 2018 is “Amateur Radio...Serving the Community.” Ron Cramer, KD8ENJ, Hamvention General Chairman, said the theme acknowledges the role that ham radio operators play in their communities, especially in times of emergencies.
“During recent disasters, hurricanes in Florida, Texas and Puerto Rico and wildfires in the West, Amateur Radio operators were once again called upon to provide emergency communication assistance when regular services failed or were overtaxed,” Cramer said.
He said that in keeping with the theme, Hamvention is planning to have forums on emergency communication and displays of Amateur Radio emergency communication vehicles. Disasters are not the only times that Amateur Radio operators contribute to their communities.
For more information see the Hamvention website and the ARRL website.
Look for the AREDN team and the Miami Valley Mesh Alliance when you are there. We look forward to meeting you.

Release Candidate 3.17.1.0 Is Withdrawn
The AREDN team has elected to withdraw its version 3.17.1.0 release and take its feature-set back to Development. The rationale is based on a few outstanding and difficult issues that are contributing to the lengthy delay. During this time, Ubiquiti has released and begun to ship devices with OS changes incompatible with the “frozen” 3.17.1.0 release. Our development standards prevent the introduction of new features (such as new hardware support) to a “frozen” release branch.
Please look for our upcoming release some time in the new year. Continuing the firmware development in this way will enable us to get early fixes and features to you faster through the nightly build process for the upcoming release candidates.We will leave version 3.17.1.0RC1 posted on the download page to preserve support for Ubiquiti XW products as identified on the Supported Platform Matrix. In addition, you will begin to see more activity on our “Nightly Builds” that add additional hardware support (like Nanostation M2 XW devices) and other important new features and fixes that will be included in a future release.
Please post any questions regarding this announcement to the Development/Features forum: https://www.aredn.org/forums/features

DMR over MESH Forum from Cowtown Hamfest, 2018
From the Cowtown Hamfest, KD5RXT shows us how to connect DMR hotspots together over a MESH network, using either AREDN or BBHN. AREDN is one of my show sponsors, and I am happy to support them. This is a cool idea on how to setup an inter-op network to use DMR if you have to setup in an emergency situation or somewhere without internet.

Reminder - AREDN Has Implemented TLS on Website
The AREDN Project has enabled mandatory use of transport layer security (TLS) on the AREDN.org website starting today Saturday, September 23, 2017. TLS is an encryption technology that obscures the meaning of the website traffic to 3rd parties. We are doing this to better serve our community and to avoid being labeled a potentially harmful website by ever increasingly strict search engines and browsers.
You should know that accessing the AREDN website with TLS over an amateur radio link may be considered a violation of FCC Part 97 regulations.
