Montgomery County MD AREDN Network?

  • Montgomery County MD AREDN Network?

    I’m volunteering for the MCM and in the course of getting ready, I see that certain stations will be setting up AREDN nodes. I’m curious about AREDN and have spent the morning reading up on it. I see that there are several “standing” networks in the area including Northern Virginia and Frederick. I’m wondering if there is one in MoCo and whether there is value to setting one up. I’d like to learn more. I know K3MRI is well-versed in this tech.

    I recall researching AREDN in the past but never got setup for it. There could be value in getting AREDN operational in MoCo, and I may be interested in participating. Along with your research I suggest also looking into MAIPN (Mid-Atlantic IP Network) https://maipn.org/. It is a similar but different network in the area.

    We actually have the head of MAIPN right here on HC. @kn3u (Al).

    Is MAIPN an AREDN-based network? Or is it similar to AREDN, but not compatible? Thinking about the more widespread compatibility issue.

    Jim, I know you’re quite knowledgeable on these things…can you share more?

      Thanks Skip but Al @kn3u is the true master and he’s out of town for a few days. I’ll follow up with him so that he weighs in here. Another expert is Ross @wa2wdt. I’ll try and get him to weigh in also. I am but the conductor of the masters ☺
