<html><head><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"></head><body dir="auto"><div>Hi Ben,</div><div><br></div><div>It's my understanding that HAMs in the US have primary privileges only on channels 1-6 of the 802.11b/g/n spectrum. Users of that spectrum wanting to avoid interference or degraded services are best off using channel 7 and up, which is why a lot of consumer wireless access points have a default channel or 7 or higher. I am not encouraging people to blast their neighborhood with 1500 watts on channel 1, but their obligations to their neighbors are no different than when transmitting on the HF/VHF/UHF frequencies (in the US).</div><div><br></div><div>Regards,<br><br>-- Scott Kidder</div><div><br>On Jul 27, 2013, at 11:56 PM, Ben West <<a href="mailto:ben@gowasabi.net">ben@gowasabi.net</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div>Hi Scott,<br><br>The description on your github repo looks quite interesting!<br><br>If the list admins do not mind my posing an off-topic question, I am curious what is the preferred approaching for announcing to the neighborhood / community when one begins broadcasting on 802.11b/n/g bands at the higher TX powers permitted by HAM licenses?

<div dir="ltr">Hi all,<div><br></div><div>I wanted to inform you of a Raspberry Pi project I created using OLSRD. The project is HSMM-Pi (<a href="https://github.com/urlgrey/hsmm-pi" target="_blank">https://github.com/urlgrey/hsmm-pi</a>), and it turns a Raspberry Pi into a High-Speed Multimedia (HSMM) wireless mesh node. The OLSRD daemon and its assortment of plugins are truly amazing! I'm very grateful to the OLSRD developers for creating such an excellent tool.</div>
