==Notes==
*Ham Radio Licenses allow for broadcasting up to 2.4Ghz
**Free class to procure ham radio license in one day at Noisebridge March 17th
**Has to be amateur / not paid-for services
**Can't be encrypted (What does that mean for HTTPS?)
**Definitely an area that needs further research!
*Hook into Downtown Berkeley WiFi?
*Hackerspace Darknets (accessible to other hackerspaces)
*CJDNS
*Bounce a signal off the moon / other satellites
*Direct connect several nodes (Andrew's place/Vagabond Ballroom; Mark B's House, Adeline House, Sudo Room, Media Alliance, node in East Oakland)
*Need for directional antennas
**Should we make antennas?
**Lasers?
***10 mbps (RONJA)
***Not good in the rain
*Location triangulation
*Suggestion: East Bay Communications Resilience Group
*Software-defined radios
*Low-bandwidth radio receivers
*Boats in the bay could receive long-distance comms, for instance
*OpenBTS
*MonkeyBrains as backhaul for a mesh network
*Burning Man Community / San Francisco dark fiber opps
*JC - mobile ad hoc mesh network
**CB Radio backpacks for berkeley protest peacekeepers as inspiration for mobile ad hoc networks
**Starts with communication (voice, over data)
*Solar power system for mesh box and mobile phone
*Pay phones as mesh nodes for anonymous hot-spotting
*Peet's running on a mesh backbone?
