Y'all,

I've been talking to Tom Wimprine, Charles Jouglard and others about putting
up a wireless cloud over parts of the metro area, using amateur radio
instead
of COTS 802.11b gear. Tonight I pitched the idea to the Jefferson Amateur
Radio Club (JARC: http://www.gnofn.org/~jarc/), and several people sounded
interested.

I've got a short description of the project on my personal wiki, which will
be
moved over to the nolug wiki at some point:

Joey,
I know a guy in St. Rose that has a pathetic setup (that works) which he
operates speratically to allow offshore hams to access the internet and
e-mail through a BBS/text messaging type system.
I could persuade him to be available if your intrested in talking to him.
He has an amateur radio license, so...let me know if you want to hook up
with him.
Chris
