Proposal

Classes and support for short wave packet relay, i.e. an Aftertime Internet.

 

Description

Support and information for Troubled Times members interested in not only learning short wave packet relay, but putting this into practice well ahead of the pole shift. Contacts and packet routes and buddies developed during such sessions will facilitate communications not only in the Aftertime, but in the times preceding the pole shift when present day communications such as satellites falter.

 

Purpose

Contacts and packet routes and buddies developed during such sessions will facilitate communications not only in the Aftertime, but in the times preceding the pole shift when present day communications such as satellites falter.

 

Cost

Cost of equipment is existing transmission equipment owned by the principal, Ron Darby, augmented by the purchase of antennas funded by the nonprofit. The cost of a site, purchased or leased or rented, is not a factor as such use is a gift from Nancy Lieder, who owns the headquarters site. No compensation for site use is the use of existings equiment is required.

Principal

Ron Darby, one of the founding members of the nonprofit and one of its first elected officers, has demonstrated skill and expertise in this area, as demonstrated by his many Contributions to the Troubled Times web pages. Ron is on site at the headquarters, living at the Place of Business.

 

Board Oversight

Funding will be done individually on each project or working prototype as it is detailed and brought forward for Board review. As with payment of all vouchers, the Internal Auditor will review expenses and receipts prior to disbursement.
