HRN 310: HamWAN Tampa Close Up (and Up High)
HamWAN is a 5 GHz high-speed data system... Long Distance Internet (or Intranet) without wires, on ham radio. HamWAN is on the air in Seattle, Memphis, and versions in Europe, and the system in Tampa that we'll see in this show. Like Broadband Hamnet, HamWAN is a high-speed data system. Unline Hamnet, HamWAN's infrastructure revolves around a few high sites, kind of like a repeater system. The similarity to repeaters, though, ends there, and you'll see why.
Our tour guides are Bryan Fields W9CR and Ryan Owens KJ4SHL, with the Florida Simulcast Group.
There are lots of videos about HamWAN and similar systems on YouTube. Here are links to the HamRadioNow talks from the DCC that cover that territory:
- HRN 183: EuroHAMNET, from the 2014 DCC
- HRN 290: IPv6, HamWAN Tampa from the 2016 DCC
- HRN 128 from the DCC: HamWAN - 6 GHz Network for Amateur Radio
The Radio Rating for this show is a little iffy. It is sort of an in the field documentary, but a good deal of it is just Bryan, Ryan and Gary talking. We'll go with a B-, but that may be a tad generous. You'll get a lot... just not all of it.
