Announcing the next BroadBand HamNet Workshop in Prince William County VA

[Terry McCarty]

ALCON -

We will have a  BroadBand HamNet (BBHN) Workshop at the Prince William 
County Central Community Library next Saturday - on 8 August. 

The workshop will officially start at noon, but we have the community 
room starting at 10 am for initial set up.  We plan to use the extra 
time to set the room up and then set up the equipment and have informal 
discussions as needed. 

We will NOT have access to the library's overhead projector - if you can 
help us by providing one, please email Clarence K4CNM (cmeese at comcast.net).
 
This workshop will concentrate on BBHN applications and advertised 
services, but if you have a Linksys router that has not been upgraded to 
a BBHN router (or if it needs to be updated) bring it along and we will 
help you get it ready.
 
We plan to demonstrate setting up the routers with a simple chat 
program, how to set them up to act as an internet gateway, how to set 
them up to send video using IP-Cameras, and how to connect them up to a 
network attached storage (NAS) for file transfers, data access, and data 
storage. 

If time permits we will also explore using Voice over IP (VoIP) to 
establish a networked telephone emergency communications system and the 
high altitude balloon project that is coming up soon. 

Also, if you are doing something special with your routers, please 
consider sharing your results and plans.
 
You don't need to bring anything to the workshop - but if possible bring 
your laptop PC, your router(s), a power strip or two, and a 10 to 20 
foot, (three prong) extension cord. 

There may be limited handouts available, so plan to take notes if you 
want to have a record of how to duplicate the procedures that we will 
cover, when you get back home.
 
The address for the first workshop is:
 

    Central Community Library
    Community Room
    8601 Mathis Avenue
    Manassas, VA 20110-5270

 

Whether or not we have another workshop on 29 August depends on how the 
first date turns out, but one is scheduled, in case we do:

 

The address for the second (potential) workshop is:
 

    Bull Run Regional Library
    Community Room
    8051 Ashton Avenue
    Manassas, VA 20109-2892

Everyone is welcome.
