Hello everyone.

Had my two nodes up and running this past weekend out at the Amateur Radio booth at the Detroit Maker Faire.  Had a lot of interest from the hams that did not know about it and pointed them here and to the latest QST article.

Four hams came by (at different times) that knew what I was doing and we talked about what they were doing in their areas with hsmm. One had a node installed in his vehicle (which I never saw on my links page) and traveled the state to see what he could find. The others were 'thinking' about doing it and I encouraged them to get them up and running if nothing else :)

As for my setup, still working on how to install one node up high enough so as to be effective. Looking for a 'cheap' enclosure that will put up with the local conditions. Have plenty of antennas to choose from.

I also picked up a Raspberry pi in the Makershed after one of my volunteers brought his in and showed me exactly what it can do. Looking at this to go into the Xb along with my other node for rovering. Getting ideas on what could be done with the 'pi' and hsmm and other things :)

Didn't have the turn out this year like previous years because of weather and procrastination on my part in getting things organized. Other than that, it was a good showing this year.
