A few of us here in the Ocean State have been planning a MESH network and we're about ready to start deploying the nodes over the next few weeks. Current participants include Myrton N1GKE and Nick N1NRW

The first two nodes will be in the southern Pawtucket FN41hu and western Providence FN41gt metro areas operating with my callsign W9GYR running hsmm-mesh-0.4.3 firmware on wrt54g hardware.

If anyone in RI (or nearby MA and CT) would like to participate, please contact us. We are very interested in collaborating with anyone within range. Even if you are only just interested in learning about our project, feel free to ask questions and we would be happy to explain the details.

Yes, please. Mike K1NPT in Newport (FN41il). Also maybe interested : Ted W1GRI - Newport + Bob WB4SON in North Kingstown. Sure would like to get an omnidirectional atop Newport Hospital.

Very cool.

Do you need a compatible Linksys? I am negotiating a deal to get a quantity discount on about two dozen. It will probably work out to less than $10 each. I'm not looking to make a profit, just to cover the cost that I paid for them. Do you need any help configuring them?

I can usually be heard on the 145.35 repeater in Providence which is tied into to the KA1RCI network and also EchoLink.
