Hi Bob, I am a HAM as well (KC7IBT) ... this could be another option as well for emergency operation. But it definitely introduces some interesting 3rd party issues, especially since a lot of our infrastructure is "open" for public usage/research/etc by a lot of unlicensed people.
But that doesn't mean we can't "tunnel" part 97 traffic over a part 15 network. Infact, we are going to be doing just that very shortly with several hams. The technologies and systems of today can definitely can compliment each other! >-----Original Message----- >From: Bob Tenty [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Tuesday, July 15, 2003 2:53 PM >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: Re: [BAWUG] WiFi for disaster relief : Is complete untethering >possible? > > > >>----- Original Message ----- >>From: "Casey Halverson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >>Yes, we are building this network in the puget sound >region--- the system is called "SnowNet".
