GD Tower MESH Project
For the past couple of years, many MARCA members have expressed interest in exploring and getting into the MESH activity.
As of January 16th, 2017, we now have an approved & funded project to establish a Mesh node, at the GD Site, that will fit into the existing East Valley Mesh network.
The basic design and equipment has been done. A simple PDF is available to review HERE.
The next step is building the implementation team to actually aquire, assemble, install, and make operational the Mesh node system.
If you are interested in participating, contact Jim Gerwitz, ac7fn, or Gary Hintin, ac7r (who is assisting).
Progress & status of the project will be appended to this announcement.
