I'm giving a talk** that evening in Green Lake Park on Bats, but this
seemed like it might fit with y'all and your digital stuff...

Alaska Air goes SEA/AUS every day and I have lots of friends left from
my 5-call days if you need a place to stay.

Have fun,

ps - if anyone has any hints on why the DRM decoding for EasyPAL
through the 146.96/PSRG machine was nearly impossible last night I'd
love to better understand it.

We moved ultimately to the 444.550/ WW7SEA machine and got 21dB S/N
ratios and perfect decode on every transmission unless I dropped the
audio to force an error and repair report exchange.

Sad, 'cause we had a bunch of folks all dressed up to play DRM on PSRG.
It is surprising since DRM is robust on HF and if you can handle
multipath/Doppler/fading you might think the audio path through a
repeater should be a snap...  Heck, people are doing MT63 through
Echolink...

 Amateur Radio operators in Austin have modified the OpenWRT code to make           
 a WiFi Mesh network. The software is functional but needs improvements.            
 We are also looking at a custom processor board (Service Processor) to             
 add some additional capabilities.                                                  
 Session 1: 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. Overview of HSMM and the Austin                 
 software                                                                           
 Limit 30 people.                                                                   
                                                                                    
 Requirements: Nothing needed.                                                      
                                                                                    
 This session will be a slide presentation of using off-the-shelf Linksys           
 routers with custom software and better antennas. Example systems will             
 be on display. We will talk about events where we have used them.                  
 Finally I will propose a HSMM network in Collin County, or the                     
 metroplex.                                                                         
                                                                                    
 Session 2: 10:45 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Loading and testing the Austin Code.            
 Limit 20 people.                                                                   
                                                                                    
 Requirements: Bring a Linksys WRT54GL (v1.0 or 1.1) router and a                   
 computer (Windows or Linux with an Ethernet port.) Extension cord, Power           
 Strip, an Ethernet Cable and if you have a HT bring it.                            
                                                                                    
 In this session we will take the compiled code and load it into the                
 WRT54GL router. Then we will take the routers outside and show them                
 automatically joining the mesh, and providing Internet access. If time             
 permits we may do range testing.                                                   
                                                                                    
 Session 3: 2:30 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. Loading the development system and                
 code                                                                               
 Limit 10 people.                                                                   
                                                                                    
 Requirements: Bring a Linux computer, because the development system is            
 in Linux. No version of Windows will work. Also bring a power strip, and           
 Ethernet Cable                                                                     
                                                                                    
 In the session we will load the development environment and software to            
 compile the Linux Operating system, OpenWRT code, OLSR (Mesh SW) and               
 Austin Modifications. When completed you will have created the same                
 binary file as you used in Session 2. This is often the first obstacle             
 for people wanting to modify the software. The software needs more work,           
 and we are looking for people to help.                                             
                                                                                    
 Please signup by emailing kip at kdream.com with what sessions you want to            
 attend. There is a limit to the number of people I can accommodate so              
 please do not sign up if you will not show up.                                     
                                                                                    
 The class will be at Gary Johnson’s Pool House, 299 Connor Lane. Lucas,            
 TX. The sessions will start promptly. So be there early.

 Will it build Goodwill and Better Friendships?
