<Dazed_75> Dazed_75 and pseudo Toddc are done.  Any questions?
<toddcnb> cool idea dennisk
<Dazed_75> Neat
<dennisk> Feel free to participate
<toddcnb> tempe still has the defunct wifi mesh up maybe they would donate use of it?
<_ericcc> Those emergency comms guys do alot of cool things with wifi and digital radio packets. Neat stuff all around.
<dennisk> We talked aout that.  Also, using bus stops which have solar power to locate APs.
<toddcnb> I have thought about a tunnel into the wifi mesh for personal use but never had time to test it
<toddcnb> mesa has some ap already open to the public on some bus stops
<_ericcc> Ham radio used aprs for a radio gps, that was cool to see. Id like to see directional wifi used in an emergency setting

<dennisk> A problem with packet radio, I understand is that encryption ist verboten.
<toddcnb> slow slow speeds on gmrs years ago
<_ericcc> yeah, encryption is against FCC laws, unfortunately
<toddcnb> Thanks for coming tonight. I will be here a while if anyone needs help or has a question
* spinrage has quit (Quit: Leaving)
<_ericcc> It is slow but people are gradually getting more interested again so I imagine speeds will pick up over time
* Rich____ has quit (Quit: Page closed)
<dennisk> Also, Gute nacht, Schaf' gut, Jungs!
* dennisk (~user@ip68-230-67-156.ph.ph.cox.net) has left #Ubuntu-US-AZ ("ERC Version 5.3 (IRC client for Emacs)")
<Dazed_75> Toddcnb: the logs are done and the SubPageHeader updated.  I need to leave for a bit.  You will probably have to do the newsletter when you get back if you can't tonight
<toddcnb> meeting are getting too long to put in the email so if i cut you off it is just a place to copy logs
<_ericcc> there is a new open source SDR, software defined radio, coming out soon. So thats proof the hobby isnt dead yet
<toddcnb> sorry i missed the first half
