[HamWAN PSDR] system usage

[Rob Salsgiver]

Ah - THAT clicked it in.  I had not heard of the NW Mesh "movement" and had
done a search and turned up the Seattle Mesh.

 

Thanks,

Rob

Seattle MeshNet is not an amateur radio project and is strictly part15.
That network would not be a likely peer for HamWAN.

 

You may be confusing that with NW-MESH which is a recently popular ham-based
project in the Seattle area.  NW-MESH would be a perfect candidate for
peering with HamWAN.

Ok... time for more questions, now that the marathon meeting is over <g>.

 

A number of times I've heard potential uses that seem to blur the line
between amateur and commercial, so my question is - how do we draw the line?

 

As an example - connecting to the Seattle MeshNet.  As I read it, the
MeshNet is non-amateur.  Are we looking to be a generic carrier grade ISP?
If so, then this will work, but we won't be able to use amateur frequencies
to do it.  Similar question for connecting firehalls down south - if we are
sticking to strictly amateur uses, then the usage by laptops and other
devices at a firehall would be limited to amateur related uses - i.e. - no
non-hams using it.

 

It may be that I'm just missing a big concept here, but I see a lot of
blurring of the lines in conversation, and I think it needs to be better
spelled out before we get in front of too many folks.

 

I'll stop with this one for now, rather than continue to show my ignorance
and unfamiliarity <g>.
