I would like to thank Pres Waterman, W2PW, local AllStar expert for coming to the meeting last night 8/20. He spoke enthusiastically about Allstar and the many ways we can use it to improve our Ham Radio experience. We had 19 members present and many questions were asked about the system of nodes and reflectors and diving deeper into how AllStar works now that we’ve had some time to investigate the system since his last talk. It was a great meeting and Pres promised to come back and show us how to build our own nodes!
For more information he pointed us to allstarlink.org which has lots of information about the system and how to get started using it. AllStar is a huge worldwide network, as the attached screenshots from the website above may suggest.
