Gents,
This will be my first event with the radio club since i got my call sign, I have a bit of experience in computer science to include some networking.
That said, I'll be excited to see how you configure and set up the mesh network. I found the Parade map on the website, do you have a desired layout for the network and which areas do you plan on providing coverage for?

Are there any suggestions on what a new guy should bring? I think i still have about 100 ft of Cat5e, terminals and a crimper laying around if you need to make patch cables.

Scott, KO4ARL
