Last night, July 29, from 8:30 PM through 10:00 PM we enthralled twenty five to thirty amateur radio people at the Utah Ham Fest for the Rocky Mountain Division Conference; taking place at Ruby's Inn at the gateway to Bryce Canyon

In keeping with the conference theme "Continuing the Pioneer Spirit of Amateur Radio" Chuck Killian, WB6YOK and Gerald Hasty AD7QF explained and demonstrated HSMM-MESH as another tool in our box for extending the capabilities for Amateur Radio.  A short listing of the mesh services witnessed:

Telephone calls were made and received through ASTERISK, the open source telephony projects.

Video over IP.

A web page serving SPLAT!, terrestrial RF path analysis, optimized for mesh usage.

SquirrelMail, to provide web eMail services for nuts over the mesh.

Desktop VNC control from one machine to another, again through the mesh.

Audience access to the mesh through an in the room bridge.

New interest was definitely created through the presentation and this continues the success of HSMM-MESH's utilization as another tool in the amateur radio operator’s tool kit.

I do plan to further document the services that we had.  But it will be a while yet.  First off I need to put the services back on line.  Then I can do a write up.
