PropNET: If the band is open and nobody is transmitting,
can anybody hear it?

Welcome to the next level of Amateur wireless innovation. PropNET is an 
ad-hoc wireless digital network established by experimenters who are excited 
to explore new frontiers in the invisible world around us.

Participants known as Probes will periodically transmit on an Anchor 
frequency (see list to the left). Any station that receives that 
transmission forwards the 'catch' to an Internet server that plots the event 
on a map hosted by findu (see Map Menu section to the left).

While an Amateur Radio license is required in order to be a transmitting 
participant (probes), unlicensed individuals are encouraged to participate 
as receive-only stations (lurkers), reporting what they capture. Click on 
the hyperlinks above to view real-time maps of participating stations.

Participation requires the use of a Windows-based computer with an available 
sound-card, a sound-card cable to connect your transceiver to your computer 
and the PropNetPSK client for your Windows-based computer. See the 
hyperlinks in the 'Quick Links' section to the left.
