Network

This is the current state of our network. We're still trying to get the first few links in place.

The Diagram to the right represents where we are more or less currently. There is a link up between KF2HP and K7EK that operates at 1200 baud on 2 meters. We're working on getting another link up from K7EK to K4WDC via 70cm at hopefully 9600 baud also and then in the near future a link from either K4WDC or K7EK to N3XKD in south western Louisville.

Today these links are being made via NinoTNCs and re-purposed commercial radio gear Motorola and Kenwood sets. We have a stock of some Kenwood 70cm gear ~10-12 radios and other various bits and bobs. As we continue to grow the network we're willing to use gear that is in the common pool to help folks get onto the network.

The main hub at each QTH is comprised of a Raspberry Pi or other Single Board Computer to handle the TNC connection and the connection back into the shack via IP.
