AREDN Arkansas Stuff

Well, good morning! Wanted to share a few things! Got some more nodes up and running. Need to get some field stuff up when the weather cools off a bit and I can find some more sites. I have a few that I'd like to do and yeah! Supernode in AR is up and running and has been relatively stable. Its all on UPS battery backup and will soon be on my backup generator for additional off grid support. I also managed to spin up Citadel email/chat services, MeshChat, a Grafana monitor watching node statuses, as well as a functioning PBX for mesh based IP phones. I also have a working Winlink post office/RMS relay for that functionality. I actually have a Proxmox server spun up that hosts all these features so the nodes aren't burdened with too much. Now we'll see what throughput and stuff looks like. This is all running off my NA0D-home node and DTD'ed to the Supernode. I actually also have a Winlink packet gateway/CMS on the air at one of these sites that has its own Internet. I thought about migrating that system into AREDN as it would theoretically work with or without public Internet, but right now they're seperate. That way I dont need to run 2 seperate Winlink RMS relay instances. Just putting this all here in case others in Arkabdas start to play with AREDN they know they're not alone.
