Need to Re-Flash my Mesh!

I wish this mine looked this good!

A new version of the Mesh Node software has been released. It looks good, but it is an all or nothing version. The new version will NOT communicate with the old version, so if I flash one, I'll have to flash them all. Actually, it sounds like a fun weekend activity. We will see. If you haven't gotten on the mesh badwaggon yet, here's the link: hsmm-mesh.org

New life for the Henderson repeater

Keith (KN5G) has done a little magic and pulled a rabbit out of his hat and it resonates like a repeater! A little background is in order. The new Rusk County ARC decided it needed to move the old repeater from the soon-to-be dismantled water tower to a new location. But after hooking up the repeater to an old antenna at Jerry's Wrecker service (thanks Jerry!) it just wasn't performing. So Keith did a little digging and figured out that we were actually lighting up a small yagi and not the 2meter verticals we intended. So a snip her and a splice there, and BOOM--we've got a great new signal. Still not quite what is was on the water tower, but pretty good! Check it out in Henderson at 146.78MHz (PL131.8).
