QST de W8TNX

COOKEN A.R.C. (see W8TNX on QRZ.com) is inviting you to a scheduled meeting using the Zoom conference/meeting software service.

Topic: Mesh networking in Licking County, Ohio, USA, North America, and Worldwide
Time: Jun 9, 2018 12:30 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)/ 9:30 AM Pacific Time

Presentation:  Orv Beach W6BI will be describing how digital mesh networking has become one of the fastest growing modes in amateur radio. With the recent capability of moving wireless access points into the uncrowded adjacent ham radio bands, the ability to create a linked ham radio "Internet" has become feasible. The network is growing by leaps and bounds, and can provide services such as text messaging, webcams, video chat, email, and VOIP (both dial-up via a PBX and with chat servers).

=================================

To "join" this presentation over Zoom, you will need to download the Zoom client from https://zoom.us/download (your current operating system should be auto detected).  You do not need to have a Zoom account, you can just "join" when given the option.  Once you have your client downloaded, you can test out your connection and audio equipment at https://zoom.us/test before the meeting.

Clicking the above link will start up Zoom automatically (and if you didn't download it beforehand, it will be downloaded and installed).  Click the "join" option, enter your name (that will be visible and used during the Q&A), you will be given the opportunity to test your audio again, and then connect to the meeting.  The meeting room will be "opened" by 12:15 to get signed in so everyone is ready for the program to begin shortly after 12:30.

Please note:  During the presentation, your mic will be muted to not interfere with the presentation.  After the completing of the presentation, your mic's will be turned on if you have a question (you'll have a button that you can click to "raise your hand" and then you'll be called on for your question/comment). There will also be a "chat box" that you can use to have your questions and comments recorded.
