Bob, I'm not attending Dayton this year. But I did not know about this I have been discussing APRS with some Burning Man hams and this looks very interesting to me. Thank you. ---  Ciao baby, catch you on the flip side.    GEO

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
