Inland NW Mesh will have a table at the Inland Empire VHF Tailgate Swap on June 6th in Spokane.
We'll Be There
Come find us at the Inland Empire VHF Radio Amateurs Tailgate Swap on Saturday, June 6th starting at 8:00 AM at Plantes Ferry Sports Complex (south parking lot), 12320 E Upriver Drive, Spokane WA.
Stop by our table for live demonstrations of the Inland NW Mesh network — including both handheld client devices and solar-powered repeater nodes. It's a great opportunity to see the hardware in action, ask questions, and learn how to get on the mesh yourself.
