Seattle MeshNet is not an amateur radio project and is strictly part15. That network would not be a likely peer for HamWAN. You may be confusing that with NW-MESH which is a recently popular ham-based project in the Seattle area. NW-MESH would be a perfect candidate for peering with HamWAN. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NW-MESH/ http://nw-mesh.wikidot.com/ On Tue, Feb 12, 2013 at 9:16 PM, Rob Salsgiver <rob@quailsoftltd.net> wrote:
Ok….. time for more questions, now that the marathon meeting is over <g>.* ***

A number of times I’ve heard potential uses that seem to blur the line between amateur and commercial, so my question is – how do we draw the line? ****

As an example – connecting to the Seattle MeshNet. As I read it, the MeshNet is non-amateur. Are we looking to be a generic carrier grade ISP? If so, then this will work, but we won’t be able to use amateur frequencies to do it. Similar question for connecting firehalls down south – if we are sticking to strictly amateur uses, then the usage by laptops and other devices at a firehall would be limited to amateur related uses – i.e. – no non-hams using it.****

It may be that I’m just missing a big concept here, but I see a lot of blurring of the lines in conversation, and I think it needs to be better spelled out before we get in front of too many folks.****

I’ll stop with this one for now, rather than continue to show my ignorance and unfamiliarity <g>.****
