[HamWAN PSDR] HUB mobile hamwan with WiFi hotspot working

[Robert Edmiston]

Hi Randy,
Yep, that was me. I couldn’t believe i could get broadband over 30 miles away. Crazy cool. All hubs could certainly benefit. This should be pretty easy to package and price.
Cheers, Bob

It doesn't handle cellular modems* like the TL-MR3020, but it is tiny, can run directly off 12V (PoE injected), and comes with the full Mikrotik Router OS so you can do advanced routing stuff if needed.

Then connected to a tplink WiFi hotspot and sent Winlink email from a laptop and email from an iPhone. Pretty darned happy with this new super power. Thanks Puget Sound Hamwan volunteers.
