Talking EU HAMNET with Jann DG8NGN

Published 2023-08-04
HAMNET is the Highspeed Amateurradio Multimedia NETwork which provides high speed network connectivity among radio amateurs in Germany and wider Europe.

I had the chance to speak with Jann Traschewski, DG8NGN about HAMNET, its history and how it came to be, where it is going and what it could be, and how we can possibly do something similar in other countries.

HAMNET is made possible with a generous grant from Amateur Radio Digital Communications (ARDC) and uses Net-44 IP space, also administered by ARDC. For more information see the website at - www.ardc.net/

    This is cool! Packet was the second activity I has a ham and I wish higher speed networking took off. I never got into AREDN cause it feels pigeon holed into emergency/public service (correct me if I'm wrong) I like the idea of just build the network. Everything else is just an overlay application. (Ugh, I should probably bite my tongue until the next convention)

    I wish we could expand this throughout the country like we're trying to expand broadband now.
