I am the president of the Hoodview Amateur Radio Club (HARC) in Gresham, Oregon. Our club is looking at leading an effort to setup HamWAN in this area. I would like to get more information about the technology and certification process. N7DOD
FYI. Here's some other activity in your area that's similar and complementary to HamWAN (that should light up IRC)...
We're doing HSMM mesh things here in Oregon! I held a meeting last month to see if there would be any interest in the local county and ended up overfilling the room with representation from the whole region (3 or 4 counties).
If you know anyone here in the Portland area that is interested, please feel free to share the link: http://washcoares.org/?page_id=1227
