The 15th annual Southern California Linux Expo will be held March 2-5, 2017 at the Pasadena Convention Center.  What does that have to do with ham radio?  More and more every year, actually.

SCALE is unique among computer shows; they give a booth to any Open Source software group that has a good story to tell.  As a result, of the 100+ booths on the Expo floor, about a third aren't try to sell you anything - not for money, anyway :-)

And starting last year, SCALE hosted:

Greetings, thank you AREDN team for your work on this project, and for putting this website together, great information here! I’m looking forward to getting some nodes up soon. Here’s my use case: I live in Los Angeles, and I want to set up a VOIP link from a mobile station near westwood (my work) to Long Beach (home).

Mt. Hamilton Radio

Hello,

I posted this in the other thread - but it didn't show as the latest post - since someone perusing may miss my question - I am posting here JIC:

I have line of sight to Mt. Hamilton in San Jose - I have a radio up now - Ubiquiti Bullet 5GHz.

What is the latest on this?  Is there a radio on Mt. Hamilton?

Yet another node on CP

Thought you'd like to see this photo.   It's me adding a 3GHz node to the cluster on Chatsworth Peak, between Simi Valley and the San Fernando Valley. This was done last Saturday.  The day before, I put an NSM3 up on my tower in central Simi Valley (about 5 miles away).   The two nodes established a link easily.  Running iperf under AirOS we're getting 17-18 Megabit/second.  

We need to decide on a frequency & distribution plan for Ventura County before we deploy more 3 and 5 GHZ stuff.

Up and running in the San Fernando Valley

Hi all,
I finally gave in and purchased a Bullet M2 and a Netgear switch. It's up and running without anyone to talk to. I went with an omni antenna for now. I need to improve the mount on the roof (make it permanent). The antenna is only a single story up so only people with a little height will be able to hear it.

Right now, it is a bit of an island. The lone node in the Valley without much altitude. I hope that having *something* on the map in the Valley will spur someone else to setup something.

Choosing a channel, mesh maps

I'm planning to set up a 2.4GHz and a 5GHz node at my house in east Milpitas. However, now that we have a choice of channels (0, -1, -2) on 2.4GHz gear, where do folks usually set up in the bay area? Is -2 and 10MHz b/w a good default to assume? Is channel 0 at 20MHz b/w more typical? Or are these the wrong questions?

On a related note, does AREDN have a "deployed mesh nodes" map similar to broadband-hamnet's site? It would be useful for both casual experimentation and for EMCOMM linking.

We have 50% of the Snow Peak installation live as of this afternoon. Snow Peak is located in the San Bernardino Mountains just below Little San G ahd has a phenomenal line of site down both sides of Mt. San Jancinto. Today the link to Redlands was brought up making Snow visiable to the entire So Cal Mesh. The southwest facing 120 degree sector is on channel 172 at 10Mhz providing coverage to Beaumont, Banning, Cherry Valley and many other areas west of Mount San Jancinto. It currently has a heading of approximately 210 degrees.

Mesh deployment in the Mojave Desert

South Cal counties

Last weekend, the LandOps Amateur Radio Club conducted a exercise in the Heart of the Mojave Desert near Cadiz, CA.  In addition to the usual VHF and HF nets, we set up an AREDN mesh network.  On Friday, we set up nodes at net control and at a trailhead about 11 miles away; we had 100% LQ and NLQ.  The node at net control consisted of a 5GHz Nanobeam on a 20 foot Harbor Freight flagpole.  The node at the trailhead consisted of a 5GHz Nanobeam dtdlinked to a 2.4GHz Rocket with a 2G13 omni antenna.
