The presentation from last night's meeting, 'Past Present and Future', is now in the reference section of the website.

The network map has been updated on the site to show actual nodes, discovered by the mesh crawler, and planned nodes from information sent in. Actual nodes have a green marker with a 'A', and proposed nodes have a blue marker with a 'P'.

We now have two analog repeaters up and running on the linking network, VE6CQM and VE6NHM. In addition we now have an active DMR linking network, more information can be found on the PNW information site by following the link to 'DMR' network.

The public site has been deprecated, and has been replaced by the PNW Information site on the mesh. You can find it at .

From the AREDN Development Team via W6BI

As we start on the AREDN Development Plan for 2022, we need some help testing the current nightly builds. Unlike previous nightly builds, these builds are more likely to be unstable and should *not* be used on any node where physical access is a problem. We don’t expect failures, but the changes we’ll be making are significant.

Replacing Perl with Lua

The currently nightly build has replaced all the backend services, originally written in Perl, with code written in Lua. It also replaces the “read-only” web pages with Lua pages. These pages are ‘status’, mesh’, ‘signal’, and ‘scan’. You can tell it’s a Lua page as we’ve added a little “Lua version” to the top/right of the page. These pages should behave identically to the Perl pages they replace; show the same information and perform similarly (the old pages are still available with the names “status.pl’, ‘mesh.pl’, ‘signal.pl’ and ‘scan.pl’ if you want to compare).

While many of us have been running these builds for a while without problem, the more eyes and the more varied hardware these are tested on the better. Please log any issues at

I'm thinking it might be advantageous to have a local repository of upgrade files so that every node ran , not the latest version obtained over the internet, but the tested stable version, used network wide. I like, somewhat, the idea in the future of automatically updating, but that too can have problems.

Thanks, I'll give it a read

Thanks very much Mark I'll give it a read. 73s from beautiful downtown High River

There will be a planned outage for about 1 hour this afternoon while I install the Pi platter into the system. It contains an access point, DC power supply, and three Pis (see attached picture). The pi at the back is the older PiWxRx which has been updated, the front is for digital linking using USRP, which also implements a bridge into the DMR network, the middle one for an upcoming remote VLAN access project. The power supply and Pi HAT boards are all home brewed, the small router is used to steer VLAN traffic to the various nodes. The outage is necessary to install a new power harness for it.

Welcome, Ted VA7VIB to the mesh network. Great to have you on board. 73.

This project was suggested by Bud, VE6BUD to get start some activity on the 1296 MHz band and also provide access to the network. It will involve resurrecting the existing D-Star repeater, VE6GHZ and providing DHCP, DNS and gateway services to the AREDN network.

Input is welcomed.
