Hi Hammers!

Here are the notes from the HAM Meeting last night:
https://256.makerslocal.org/wiki/Ham_Shack/2015.03.11_Meeting_Notes

I'll be at the make shop with my radios again next Tuesday, but what do you
guys think about another meeting in 3 weeks to keep the energy going?  That
would be Tuesday, March 31st

Action Items Assigned Action Items

   - Jeff to schedule the next Ham Radio Meeting
   - Jeff to schedule a stakeholders meeting for the library (Greg), AV
   Area (Tim) and HAM Shack (Jake)
      - Once results of this meeting are done, Jeff to schedule a
      re-arrangement and taking measurements day

Unassigned Action Items

   - We need Coax to run from the hamshack to the antenna

Notes

   - Our first goal is to get our hamshack built and on the air
      - Habitat for humanity may be a good resource for materials
   - The Landlord is adamant about not poking new holes in the building
   - Just to get up an running, our first antenna can be as simple as a
   mag-mount slapped on the roof
   - Baxley has offered to teach morse code lessons
   - Darryl demonstrated his Broadband Hamnet
      - Darryl was running version 2, version 3 can do 900mhz
      - while you can't encrypt anything on broadband ham, you can use
      public keys for refutation
      - Hope to get text based chat up and running as first use of
      broadband hamnet
      - Hunter and Strages are setting up a non-HAM meshnet. It may be
      possible to utilize non-ham infrastructures like non-Ham Meshnet and the
      internet backbone by encapsulating the ham-mesh packets.
      - Batman is a version of the ham-mesh that is better for moving mesh
      nodes
   - Ligowave (online) can be used to calculate attenuation between two
   points
