AMPR addresses available

Some time ago we requested and were granted, a subnet of AMPRNET address for use in Southern and Central California.  We were granted 44.127.36.0/22 and we've roughly identified how we'd break down those into smaller subnets.

If you'd like to use some of them locally, please coordinate with me, or Tom King KA6SOX.

We now have live 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz nodes on top of the San Francisco Veterans Administration building in the Outer Richmond, SF.

Anyone with a view of the facility from anywhere in San Francisco should be able to connect to our nodes. The beams are pointed South-South-East from the top of the VA.

San Francisco Wireless Emergency Mesh (SFWEM)

Hi All,

I'm in the process of standing-up a wireless mesh in the city based on the great work done by the folks in the east bay. Thus far I have three nodes online and am looking forward to interconnecting with others in the city interested in participating. Depending on how you look at it, the city's urban landscape and property bureaucracy make installing permanent and dedicated mesh endpoints challenging.

I've taken to calling this mesh the "San Francisco Wireless Emergency Mesh" (SFWEM). The nodes I have are configured as follows:

2019 SoCal Ham Networking Conference

Date: 10/5/2019
Venue: TBD
Content: TBD

We held a small ham networking conference in Los Angeles about a year ago. We covered a number of topics, and it was very successful. So we've decided to do it again, but bigger, with topics suitable for newbies to gurus. At least a couple of the AREDN team will be in attendance.

The date will be October 5th, 2019. The venue will be in Los Angeles County, but before we settle on one we need to know how many will be attending.

Presentation at Pacificon

My presentation on ham radio networking using AREDN software has been accepted by Pacificon.  The convention will be held October 18-20th at the San Ramon Marriott, in San Ramon, California.  I've requested Saturday the 19th for my presentation with Sunday as the alternate day, but they haven't nailed down the schedule yet.

If you're in the area and contemplating attending Pacificon, I could use some helping packing the audience :-D.    Just leave the tomatoes behind ;-)

Hope to see you there!

More L.A. County coverage

Today we finalized the two 5 GHz nodes on Mt. Wilson. They are:
 
  • A 5 GHz node with 90 degree sector antenna on channel 177 @ 10MHz BW, pointed southwest
  • A 5 GHz node with 90 degree sector antenna on channel 174 @ 10MHz BW, pointed southeast
They have connectivity to the backbone both east and west.   There are a couple of problematic backbone links on either side of the site, but they're working for now.  We already have 4 users on the SW node.

Area reports appreciated!

The San Francisco Auxiliary Communications Service (ACS), a unit of the San Francisco Department of Emergency Management (DEM), recently participated in the 2019 SF Fleet Week Disaster Debris Management and Emergency Route Reopening exercise on Pier 27 in San Francisco. The exercise tested the ability for the City, State, Federal, Defense & Private organizations to coordinate to re-open transportation routes into and out of the city following a major disaster. Agencies involved included SFFD, SFPD, PG&E, US Navy, US ACE, USCG, SFDPW, ACS, et al.

San Francisco Wireless Emergency Mesh Website Launched

We've launched the website for SFWEM, complete with coverage simulations for our current sites: ​https://www.sfwem.net/sites

We're in the process of negotiating rights to at least 4 new sites on the eastern part of the city, some of which will give us the ability to link to the East Bay team.

We're still looking for additional operators throughout the city, and there's plenty of spare gear to get you started!

Bay Area Tunnel

There's a couple of other networks setup around the Bay Area. Until we can get dedicated wireless links setup, I'd like to get some tunnels running. We have a dedicated tunnel server running for SFWEM. Contact me for details. sfwem@undef.net

Also, we're looking for the POC for the Oakland/East Bay mesh.

SFWEM Updates: New Hams, New Sites, New BOM, New Events

First, I'd like to welcome my long-time friend Pascal to the wonderful world of ham radio: KN6GFJ!
 
His first order of business was getting our latest RF & Tunnel nodes up and running, along with Jeff AJ6IY. They are now running a point-to-point 5 GHz connection in the Potrero Hill neighborhood, with an IP tunnel backhaul to ORION. I believe there is still some tuning to do on their RF link, but eventually we'd like to get a 5 GHz sector antenna Hub pointed west and south from that Location, giving us coverage of the Outer Mission and Hunters Point (tbd).
