Emily, if you want, take a look at possible propagation on 900 MHz from where you are to my QTH (coordinates are available on QRZ.com). A good tool to use for this is Radio Mobile.

Dave, K1BER, has done work with this program as part of preparing for some operations on 902 MHz for Winter Field Day.

Thanks, Emily. It’s great that you are leading the way here. Do keep us up to date on how it goes and share what you’re learning about as you go.

HaLow support for AREDN is fairly recent. It looks like a few sites in the eastern US are support HaLow applications –

Hello Emily,

AREDN does support communication with HaLow devices. Can you tell us a little bit about the devices that you are interested in? Here are a few links with some information on AREDN HaLow support –

Hi Dave,

AREDN uses 10.x.x.x and 172.x.x.x addresses for the local mesh. It is best to configure your home network to use 192.168.x.x addresses to avoid conflicts with the AREDN addresses.

I believe it may be possible to continue using 10.x addressing on your home network; this would require several static routes and would leave you vulnerable to future addressing conflicts with AREDN.

Just heard from Dave Pascoe, Km3T, who is doing the install at KC1XX –

Too cold and windy. Monday is possible, we will make a call on Sunday night.

We will not be installing the AREDN RF link tomorrow. This is a good call as it’s not safe to be on towers when the wind and cold are a problem.

I will let everyone know by posting here on Sunday evening whether the installation is a go for Monday.
