Coffee Shack #9
What a great get-together! Lots of laughter and friendship. We even talked a little bit about radio. Don’t miss the next one in June: The second Monday, which is June 10th.
A-index 272? Are you nuts? Photos!
I pulled this off of SpaceWeatherLive. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.

Meshtastic – an inexpensive mesh network
On April 25th Scott Prior VA7LMP gave IslandHF a terrific presentation on Meshtastic.
Meshtastic is an open source, off-grid, decentralized, mesh network built to run on affordable, low-power devices.
It’s is a project that enables you to use inexpensive LoRa radios as a long range off-grid communication platform in areas without existing or reliable communications infrastructure. This project is 100% community driven and open source!
There is a video (no password required) and a downloadable PDF file. Check them out.
