Programs 2025
February 4
Jesse, N4JAH and Richard, KR4OS, gave a presentation on Meshtastic. Meshtastic is an open source, off-grid, decentralized, mesh network built to run on affordable, low-power devices. Each device, or node as they are called, acts as a repeater and rebroadcasts all the packets it hears. This forms a "self-healing" mesh where each device has the potential to increase the size and coverage of the mesh. You can see the PowerPoint presentation and a list of possible hardware.
