Hey, this looks very interesting if you’ve looked at AREDN and know what a “tunnel” is used for and how the hams in LA and surrounding counties make use of the high ridges and hills that overlook the cities. The clear line of site is exactly what an AREDN setup needs to be very useful and to build a mesh that any ham can link into.
AREDN is the best comms backup for ARES and for giving emergency coverage for the municipality when their comms fail. AREDN’s only downfall is that it won’t pass through trees so mounting it’s backbones on the hills and ridges with unobstructed views makes SoCal the ideal place for it’s use.
Orv Beach W6BI, is the leading AREDN expert in SoCal, in attached photo, can be seen working on a backbone atrbtime oneste of his AREDN sites.
Hope that this little extra info helps stir up interest in your program.
Thanks for your time, 73 de NG9T Gary Faust
