Proposed singular weekend event ala field-day to build a coast-to-coast mesh using WRT-54Gs

 

  • weekend field-day-ish in coordination
  • not just for BBHN, we might as well log some other QSOs while we're setting things up and hanging out
  • Competition + collaboration
    • Club/team/individual (callsign)
    • solar/battery/generator/mains classifications
    • nodes per callsign
  • Use only WRT-54Gs
  • use something else next year
  • Sponsorships
    • radios, antennas, parts, outdoors/camping, clothing, hardware,
    • Linksys/ubiquiti/? - we're using your old gear this year so we can use your new gear next year
    • special event callsigns?
  • Website to track equipment loans
    • there should be enough gear to go around, let's put them to use at least once
    • map to plan where teams will go
  • Prizes! That's what sponsors are for!
    • P2P distance shootout - longest link in the mesh
    • # links
    • most radical antenna
    • most awesome location
    • best coverage
    • most traffic through
    • # nodes/callsign (think '30A' on field-day)
    • uptime
    • best media coverage
    • best food
