What is a WiFi Ham? --- The term has been coined by KD5LWU to describe a ham who envisions
the joining of ham radio/digital modes/Echolink/Eqso/Beacons/remote base/etc. with the computer and the internet seeking to
utilize it to the fullest which includes using access points to work the bands. A WiFi Ham Experimenter is one who discovers new ways to use
Wireless Internet networks/cell phones/PDA/laptops/etc and implements or writes new software/hardware to make it function.
WIFI 802.11b streaming video project ---
Recent post on Hamcams Group server ....I encourage all members to read the
QST article April 2003 on High speed multimedia radio
http://www.arrl.org/tis/info/pdf/0304028.pdf . One statement in the article
is.... "Two way streaming video - Imagine a local amatuer radio videophone
network that can be operated from a pc, but with an RLAN communications medium.
Each station can use a simple webcam attached to a pc and that pc can be
connected to the network via a simple wireless access device. Such a network
would support both point-to-point and multi-point video calls."
Originally I posted thoughts similar, but not exactly,
note: ---(When I posted this message originally in our then new group I was told
it couldn't be done, but it is being done - so let's not take this path this
time please!!!)---
when I said ........... "to the group - I thought we might get things rolling by
discussing some possibilities for web cams and ham radio:
1. Could an interface be built to link webcams to RF?
a. If so anybody in the hamcams group have the expertise to do this?
b. what frequencies to use, VHF, UHF, HF?
c. could the interface board convert webcam signals to standard audio/video atv
signals?
d. should the board be built on a 12 volt power source so we could run mobile?
e. what are the legal issues to deal with?
2. Is it possible to link Echolink, Eqso, IRLP with webcam technologies?
a. would the authors of these programs allow us to do this?
b. could an interface be built that would be an add on to current boards (i.e.
wb2rem board)?
3. Using an interface board and echostation (or other software) could we run a
webcam repeater?
So this just to get our juices flowing as a group, and to explore some of the
creative possibilities of webcam hams. Looking forward to some good responses -

This HSMM video streaming project is something we can do! How many of you
members are running WIFI (802.11b) stations? Are there any programmers on the
list here? Could members please give some thoughts and feedback please. Anyone
besides myself willing to jump in and start this project? 73 Johnny
One Final Bit of Information: This is from an email someone
ask me to send out sometime back..... I have the following
services and pages as listed below.......all this is simply to serve our
International, State and local ham community and make life easier for all of
us........Please forward/pass this email around to your ham friends if you don't
mind?
I have a MMSSTV live page here in Cortez, Colorado where one can see
their own sent pictures and hear their own signals into Colorado.....there is a
slight time lag so give php time for the program to convert pics from the MMSSTV
history folder and then it will pop up in the window. You can also see previous
pics by clicking on the link at top of page.
http://above50mhz.hopto.org/phpmmsstv/ This is a PHP page authored by
KG6YPI and does a very good job. It is also linked to my remote Internet FT-817
Transceiver at My remote Internet Receiver page -
http://www.remotehams.com/106.html
to change frequencies you must be a member of "friends of KD5LWU" it's free just
apply. Instructions and information on using the receiver are at
http://above50mhz.hopto.org/remotereceiver.html For those who do not have a
VHF/UHF rig you can listen to our repeater from the FT-817 and if you do not
have a HF rig this will serve you well! The ft-817 is a all band all mode rig.
Hope you enjoy!

RFhamCams has been around since 2003 as a group. We are going through a
transition right now so activity is a low and I just re-did the web pages this

and discussing ham-video, etc.
