The Blue Ridge Amateur Radio Society is excited to invite you to a special presentation on Meshtastic, an innovative, open-source project that’s making waves in the amateur radio community.
Meshtastic enables long-range, off-grid communication using small affordable LoRa radios — no cell towers, Wi-Fi, or internet required. Whether you’re interested in emergency preparedness, outdoor expeditions, or simply curious about mesh networking, this system offers a fun and practical way to extend your ham radio toolkit, or a simple way to explore wireless communication technologies.
Join us as we dive into how Meshtastic works, what gear you’ll need, and how you can start experimenting with your own mesh network — all while staying well within the amateur radio spirit of exploration and service. Guests are welcome, and no license is required to utilize this fascinating wireless tech!
The meeting is on Monday, October 6th at 7pm ET. It is both onsite at the Red Cross building at 940 Grove Road in Greenville SC and via Zoom Video.
