I am an Extra Class Ham which got started in 2010 and am an Assistant Emergency Coordinator for Otsego County ARES. Here in the County we have a 3 node packet system, an APRS digipeater and an igate. We currently use AREDN for various public service events primarily with Cameras and would like to build out a permanent ARDEN Network which is a little bit of a challenge due to the hilly tree populated terrain of the area. Most of our work and equipment purchases to date has been by a few volunteers and often I have prepared our nodes for deployments. I know basic networking and am learning more every day. The details and nitty gritty work is handled by Brian Webster N2KGC and Matt Jenne KD2HKB. Some of the things we hope to use via networks include TicketsCAD, Rachel Servers, video servers, radio and network related reference material, databases, Allstar Link, remote bases and others that I know I am forgetting.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>John Rudolph<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>N2YP<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Unadilla, NY <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Otsego County <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
