Meetings and Announcements :
Don't miss the Indianapolis Radio Club's meeting this Friday, October 10.
The meeting will be held via Zoom.
The presentation will be regarding Meshtastic and MOTUS.
There has been increasing interest in Meshtastic nodes and their usage in the past couple of years.
Our presenter for the evening will be Rick Nicholson, N9UMJ.
Rick and a group of hams from southern Indiana have been experimenting with
and deploying Meshtastic nodes in the Bloomington and surrounding areas for a few years now.
Rick also has deployed MOTUS systems around the area, as well, including one at the Indianapolis Zoo.
The Zoom invitation has been posted to the IRC's email reflector, "IRCNews".
