Making Waves Day 1
The Conference for Creative Use of the Radio Spectrum in Open Systems, that brings users of the radio spectrum together. For over a century, technology has made it possible to transfer more data, faster, further. Today, wireless technology is everywhere and commonplace. However, it remains a playground and a ground for innovation for many communities. The spectrum24 conference provides an opportunity to publicize projects and to allow the different communities that use the spectrum to meet in person over a weekend.
President of the IARU Region 1
It's only right to start with Sylvain Azarian F4GKR the president of the International Amateur Radio Union (IARU) | Region 1
The IARU represents the interests of the Amateur Radio Service worldwide to relevant international organisations, promoting the interests of amateur radio and seeking to protect and enhance its spectrum privileges.
Radioastronomy activity with the Paris radio-telescope and EME
Next we chat with François-Xavier Hugo and Jules Benkemoun F4IEY talking about the Radiotelescope in the form of a 10m dish parabolic mesh disk operated at the Club RadioAmateur F4KLO.
Setting up an Amateur Radio Station at a Technical School
Anthony Le Cren - F4GOH, teaches electronics and computer technology at a Technical School and tells us about the science projects they got up to. He also managed to get a hour a week where he and his students set up an Amateur Radio Station in the school. What can you do in a hour a week ? Turns out quite a lot.
Have a look at his site Projets radio for more information.
Meshcom
We chat with Michael Zwingl OE3MZC who is president of the Institute of Citizen Science for Space and Wireless Communication about MeshCom 4.0
MeshCom is a project to exchange text messages via LORA radio
modules. The primary goal is to realize networked off-grid messaging
with low power and low cost hardware.
The technical approach is based on the use of LORA radio modules which transmit messages, positions, measured values, telecontrol and much more with low transmission power over long distances. MeshCom modules can be combined to form a mesh network, but can also be connected to a message network via MeshCom gateways, which are ideally connected via HAMNET. This enables MeshCom radio networks, which are not connected to each other via radio, to communicate with each other.
Satdump
Although Alan Antoine F4LAU was unfortunately not able to attend in person, his shoes were filled by Jacopo Cassinis, and Zbigniew Sztanga who chatted with us about SatDump.
SatDump is a general purpose satellite data processing
software. It is a one-stop-shop that provides all the necessary stages
to get from the satellite transmission to actual products
