Ordered some books in order to get my HAM-radio certification. And when thats done I can finally start building some AREDN nodes
A friend of mine just put up the first node in Sweden, hopefully our project can grow into a bigger network soon
It is quite cool how an #AREDN node can be built with relative cheap hardware
@selea A what?

A "emergency mesh network" basically, so you can communicate even if everything goes down :)
@selea I gotta get me some of that. What do I get and where?
If you have "Amatörradiocertifikat", you can build it with some of the hardware listed here:

So not really any kind of exclusive hardware either :)
@selea Oh. Don't have that. never mind then. :D
Yeah I dont have either, but hopefully soon :P
@seleaWhat is the size of the area you can send to and receive from your home and at which speed? The mesh idea is cool.@joacim
@kmj Depends on the hardware - but from what I have seen, it is between 30 and 60km, Directional antennas is even more powerful
Open and welcoming Mastodon instance, running on a PiMox cluster and Linux somewhere in Sweden.
