12/31/05 1 Michigan Section Digital Radio Group Annual Report By: Jay Nugent WB8TKL presented January 7th, 2006

12/31/05 2 Areas we will cover: Organizational Milestones Technical Milestones Training & Presentations Problem areas and their Resolutions Goals for 2006 Comparison of 2005 “Next Steps”

12/31/05 3 Organizational Milestones: “DRG” created and held its first meeting (March) items were on the agenda, most of which were covered. Elections were held for Chair, Vice-Chair, and Recording Secretary Mailing list created (March) – Now contains 32 members including all DEC's plus an “Archival” account website created (May) Formulated “Duties of the District Representatives” - Defined the duties and responsibilities of the District Representatives Added “Webalizer” statistics to the website to track hits and usage statistics (June) – We can now track what material is being viewed (and which isn't) and how often it is requested Began an educational campaign regarding the eventual move away from a Flat-Topology toward a Multi-Layered network (Sept)

12/31/05 4 Organizational Milestones: (cont'd) Published Dr. Clarks' “The Trouble with Digipeaters” (Sept) Promoted inclusion of Packet in the October S.E.T. - Documented that at least 6 Counties established connections with the State EOC BBS and were able to post Traffic and/or left messages “Basic Packet” training group established (October) Published “Local Access Freqs by District” (October) - A first attempt to migrate to a Multi-Layered networking model Began “Michigan Digital Vision” discussion (Dec) – To determine the goals of the group and set our direction for the future EOC & Key Station data placed on website (Dec) – Districts were asked to provide their data by the end of January District network maps being collected onto the website (Dec) – D2, D7West and D8East have already been posted. Maps are “skimpy” in their first cut, but are expected to improve in later revisions

12/31/05 5 Local Access Frequencies by District This proposal is a first attempt to move away from a single collision domain, and towards a network based on “Gateway” nodes. This positions us to more easily implement a “backbone” connecting the Gateway nodes. First published in October, a few stations are already appearing on the new frequencies: D7 has a JNOS node on in Manistee D6 has a HamGate active on D2 will soon have a HamGate on

12/31/05 6 Organizational Milestones: (cont'd) Work progressing on an SQL Node Database (Dec) – This will hold the raw data collected via the online Node Data Request Form, and will be queryable from a webpage interface by all users. Districts will be able to search and retrieve data to use in creating their own network maps and node tables Simplified the method of requesting an IP Addresses in the AMPR.ORG domain (Nov) – This will be necessary as more MSYS, JNOS, X1J4 NetROM, and home stations begin using the TCP/IP protocol suite WB8TKL took over as the Michigan AMPRnet IP Coordinator (Dec) – This should result in faster turnaround times when users request IP address space for their nodes, routers, and home stations. Request had been taking weeks to months to be processed. Requests should now be processed in one to two days. Domain Name Service (DNS) updates will be quicker as well.

12/31/05 7 Technical Milestones: 34 “Registered” WL2K TelPac nodes - 11 of these are online 7x24. The others are in various states of 'readiness'. 5 JNOS HamGates are operational now – These are located in Fenton, Ypsilanti, Newport, Harrisville, and Grayling (non-routing). These nodes provide a direct connection between distant parts of the State and help to lighten the load on the RF backbone by utilizing Internet 'tunnels' to connect them. 3 more JNOS HamGates will be online <1month – Located in Monroe, Grand Rapids (DAPR), Grand Rapids (Red Cross). These nodes will provide access in D2South,and access in D5. The Red Cross node will be on JNOS HamGates to be online Spring 2006 – These are located in Pinkney/Hell and Empire. The Pinkney node will provide direct access on into the SEOC, and the Empire node will provide access into D7West and into their X1J4/NetROM network. ALL of the HamGates provide a distributed “Conferencing” system (similar to Instant Messager services) allowing anyone anywhere to 'chat' with ease.

12/31/05 8 Current HamGate deployment HamGates allow disperse portions of the state network to be interlinked via the Internet using the TCP/IP protocols. NetROM/X1J4 can be natively run across these links making them transparent to the End Users. The HamGates provide a mechanism for SMTP mail to both be sent and received between the RF network and the Internet.

12/31/05 9 Technical Milestones: (cont'd) Numerous website resources have been added since its inception - Including 'Statement of Purpose', Membership information (District Reps, etc.), Agendas and Minutes from all meetings, space for Working Group materials, online Node Database update form, District network maps, EOC & Key Station database, Tutorial & Training resources, JNOS/Hamgate information, WL2K resources, along with BBS, NetROM, and numerous other links and resources. The website also has a “Private Area” requiring a password to access. This area is used for webpages that are under development, or for materials that are not for 'public consumption'. The website contains 103 active links with several more still under construction. There is even a link that provides 'realtime' monitoring of the entire States' TCP/IP network (HamGates, JNOS nodes, some MSYS BBS's, and X1J4 nodes), as well as a link that provides 'realtime' monitoring of the WL2K network.

12/31/05 10 Website Statistics: Website usage has steadily grown as the site becomes more widely known. As more data is placed on the site, it has become a valuable resource to users within Michigan as well as users outside the State. It even sees frequent visits from users in other countries.

12/31/05 11 Technical Milestones: (cont'd) D6 put up its first node on as part of its move towards the Multi-Layered Networking Plan (Nov) D2 is preparing to place it's first node on within the next month – This will be the N8KJF-4 Hamgate.Monroe JNOS node First X1J4 (NetROM) nodes are online in Benzie County – X1J4 uses the NetROM route discovery mechanism, and also supports IP routing as well. This allows them to integrate with the JNOS nodes (and MSYS BBS's) more effectively. Experimentation with ICOM's “D-Star” data radios – These tests are occurring in some parts of the State. D-Star radios allow for simultainious voice & data at data rates of 128kpbs

12/31/05 12 Training & Presentations: February 5, "DAPR" group in Grand Rapids February 12, Hillsdale ARES/RACES June ARROW Radio Club, Ann Arbor July 21, MCRCA Radio Club, Monroe Training resource material and web links are available on the DRG website for individuals to self-train.

12/31/05 13 Problem Areas and their Resolutions: TRAINING!!!!!! - Fewer Hams understand Classic Packet than they once did. Re-education of the Amateur public through DRG offered Training Classes is necessary to re-gain that wealth of operators we once had. Little participation on the DRG mailing list – It is disappointing the lack of group participation on the DRG reflector. We have begun a new campaign jokingly called: “Please Participate, or Jay will Dictate!” Little feedback on DRG proposals – (same as above) Little sharing of DRG material through the DEC's to their EC's and others in their districts – It is hoped that the DEC's will filter down material from the DRG reflector to their EC's in hopes of getting more involvement from the rank & file. Section Staff may assist in helping this happen. Many key members still do not understand 'Packet' – Those that lead the group need more in-depth training so they themselves can “lead” their respective Districts and make better informed decisions.

12/31/05 14 Goals for 2006: MORE TRAINING!!!!!! Increased participation on the DRG reflector list Increased participation in Working Groups Improved Network Maps Deploy more HamGates for better long-haul linking Deploy more NetROM/X1J4 nodes Deploy more “Gateway” Multi-ported Nodes Continue migration to Multi-Layered networks and the use of District/Regional “Local Access” frequencies Link up Full-Service BBS's and improve Mail Forwarding Begin developing District “Standard Operating procedures” Get more Clubs involved!

12/31/05 15 For comparison, here are the “Next Steps” from a year ago: Begin using LAYERED network topologies Each County use its own Local Access Frequency Establish Gateway Nodes between networks Establish reusable backbone frequencies and link nodes using directional antennas wherever possible SHARE your network maps with others! We need a Frequency Coordination body now! Each District needs to assign a Packet Representative to the Digital Committee Section Digital Committee needs to meet ASAP!
