glad things went well yes cameras are a big draw.
other than the heat and humidity I'm sorry to have missed Saturday.
Getting old is not a problem getting old and having bad health is........
Last year DARA van operators could not get the FLEX radio to work
so it does not surprise me other things were not working Saturday.

Success Saturday too.

Gary Turner N8SPY was at the MVMA Pavilion and assisted with setup.
Thank you Gary.
The equipment was set up and everything worked as planned.

Fred's MiFi device performed flawlessly. The tunnel worked well.
The WiFi router was activated.

I had four nodes, 917, 2397, 3380, and 5915 MHz mounted with 3 active.

The 48" TV/monitor faced the sidewalk.

The 'mesh-map' screen seemed to draw folks on the sidewalk closer
better than other display screens. Most seemed to recognize the map
and would point out their home.

Reuben helped man the booth shortly after the faire opened and stayed
almost until closing.
Thank you Reuben.

MVMA 'business' cards were handed out.
Some visitors left their email address.

I think IP cameras would have been a benefit.

The DARA Truck had some issues setting up. There seemed to be no
interest in activating AREDNMESH in the DARA Truck. Could have been
a lack of volunteers and/or time and/or talent. :-(

Chuck
