Does anyone going to Dayton have a Raspberry Pi with the OUTERNET satellite feed on it?
Outernet is a satellite downlink receivable anywhere in the world* from 3 GEO sateliltes that carries an APRS and an AMSAT channel on it. I wanted to demo it at Dayton, but I just checked mine and apparently the cover blew off and the electroncs have been sitting in the rain for a few months..
All it is, is a RaspberryPi, an SDR dongle and a patch antenna and that becomes a WiFi hot spot that can serve the live data to anyone in range with any WiFi device.
See http://aprs.org/outnet.html
I want to talk about it during the APRS Forum on Friday. Need something to demo
