Michael, WZ0C, lives in Maynard and enjoys the amateur radio digital modes. Michael became interested in AREDN last year, connecting with Orv, W6BI, and Jim and learning about their efforts. Michael is hoping to use AREDN to increase the digital presence in Massachusetts.
Jim, KC1BHD, has always been interested in data transmission in general and for several years, AREDN mesh networking in particular. He lives near Worcester and envisions creating RF access to an AREDN mesh for hams. He will give a demonstration of his AREDN go-kit prototype to be used in ARES activations, at disaster locations, or public service events.
