[HSMM-COS] [W0TLM] Re: HSMM Node

Fri Aug 9 16:13:10 EDT 2013

I added a new topic on Broadband Hamnet/HSMM Mesh to the ppraa.org forums.

I also upgraded my firmware to the latest release v1.0. It appears to work
OK, but I can only see a couple of home Wifi networks in my area (just N of
Monument) so far. I also added my node to the Google Maps mesh map.
