Ordered some books in order to get my HAM-radio certification. And when thats done I can finally start building some AREDN nodes
A friend of mine just put up the first node in Sweden, hopefully our project can grow into a bigger network soon

Yeah I dont have either, but hopefully soon :P
@selea Oh. Don't have that. never mind then. :D
@selea I gotta get me some of that. What do I get and where?
If you have "AmatΓΆrradiocertifikat", you can build it with some of the hardware listed here:
https://www.arednmesh.org/content/supported-platform-matrix
So not really any kind of exclusive hardware either :)
A "emergency mesh network" basically, so you can communicate even if everything goes down :)
@selea A what?
It is quite cool how an #AREDN node can be built with relative cheap hardware
@selea oh, interessant! Jag hΓ₯ller pΓ₯ att hacka pΓ₯ mitt #nixos bygge av min #dmr hotspot fΓΆr att slippa PiStar π
Det dΓ€r kan ju ocksΓ₯ vara nΓ₯got i framtiden.
@selea Jag... gillar verkligen inte PiStar, jag gillar dock att ha en hotspot.
PiStar Γ€r ett riktigt junk som Γ€r riktigt yanky. Det gΓΆr massa galenskaper sΓ₯ som att switcha mellan readonly och readwrite filystem en gΓ₯ng per dygn fΓΆr att kΓΆra ett updater-script... Som jag... mer Γ€n en gΓ₯ng varit med om att den i princip brickar sig sjΓ€lv.
DΓ€rfΓΆr bygger jag en reproducerbar config i nixos som kan producera SD-kort images och OTA updates.
PiStar har jag lΓ€nge kikat pΓ₯ ocksΓ₯ :)
@selea I have been a little interested in HAM but never had a starting goal in mind, apart from βget a radio and talk to peopleβ. Which isnβt really my thing π But Iβve never heard of AREDN. I think I found my project!
