This is a very good question. Can folks start doing research into Florida’s mesh community in advance of the next storm? I see they have a Florida Meshtastic Reddit. Could be a good place to start. #meshtastic View quoted note →

Using Starlink and Ham Radio for Disaster Relief: This video shows one way you could deploy a Starlink system with ham radio on battery / solar power . I am hoping this inspires further ideas and discussion. How would you deploy this equipment? “This week the WaveTalkers crew deploys a portable Starlink system and connects it to our Tactical Winlink Gateway. We demonstrate sending Winlink traffic using VARA FM into the gateway and watching it get relayed out via Starlink. This system blends high speed data with the flexibility of ham radio operators in the field. Learn how to set up a Starlink system and discover the reality of running Starlink in the field.” #hamradio #helene #amateurradio #varafm #winlink #starlink #gateway #ham #radio #cellular https://www.youtube.com/live/o1j45Sj_4BQ

Radio for preparedness: What lessons can we learn from Hurricane Helene? From K2EJT “Unless you've been living under a rock, you know about the devastation caused by hurricane Helene. Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Tennessee have all been impacted by the storm. In the particularly hard hit area near Ashville, NC ham radio has been used to great effect for everything from health and welfare checks to directing supply drops and emergency evacuation requests. While there have been many hams (and non hams) who have been instrumental in the effort radio has played, one in particular stands out. Dan Gitro, K2DMG, has done an amazing job handling an insane amount of traffic. Dan, good on you man. You deserve all of the praise you're receiving. While listening to the traffic, it occurred to me that there's a lot that people don't consider when looking at radio for emergency preparedness. I figured I'd discuss some of the things I consider when looking at radios for this purpose, and what I'd buy and what I'd skip. This disaster has put radio's role in a whole new light, and I think a lot of people will start to seriously consider their communications plan when preparing for disasters. Thanks as always for watching, and 73! Evan K2EJT buymeacoffee.com/K2EJT k2ejt@winlink.org” #hamradio #helene
