Ham Updates - 3/14/2012

For Pi Day (3.14), I ordered two Larsen NNO-K antenna mounts for the Honda Element. Goal is to install two meter VHF and a 220 band amateur radios. I will run 8 AWG power from the 12V battery to power this equipment. On the HF scene, I am ready to bolt my Yaesu FT-897D and LDG AT-897+ together. Looking at a Kent SP-1 single paddle code key for CW "morse code". This is a side swipper "Cootie" key ;)

Looking for adventure? How about traveling on a luxury boat from Maui Hawaii to the Marshall Islands, where US Nuclear testing began in 1946 on Bikini Atoll after residents were evacuated. Over the years, 67 weapon tests were conducted, including the 15-megaton Castle Bravo hydrogen bomb test, which produced significant fallout in the region. The testing concluded in 1958. Time has past and a visit is pretty safe these days, we have a highly trained crew and we carry a good Geiger counter, just to make sure. This area is close enough to the edge of the World. From 1946 to 1958, it served as the Pacific Proving Grounds for the United States and was the site of 67 nuclear tests on various atolls.[16] The world's first hydrogen bomb, codenamed "Mike", was tested at the Enewetak atoll in the Marshall Islands on November 1, (local date) in 1952, by the United States.

Rapidly deplyable wireless mesh networks using layer-3 OLSR routing

I find HSMM-MESH interesting since it combines my loves of ham radio, networking and Linux computing. Already thinking about a Mini-ITX Ubuntu server in a NEMA box with my node ;) I would like experiment with fixed and mobile Mesh networking for use in future public service and emergency response events. Also looking at Freifunk Firmware used to build citywide wireless intranets by meshing with layer-3 OLSR routing.
