HOTSPOT Build
The club will host an Open Shack/Hotspot Build on Saturday morning, November 14, 2026. Participants will build their own Raspberry Pi-based hotspot using WPSD software.
To ensure compatibility and simplify the process, the club will purchase the necessary components for participating members. The estimated cost is $100 per hotspot. See the attached document for component details.
Members interested in participating must contact Jesse Vasquez, KI5TX, at ki5tx@irvingarc.org by November 1, 2026, so the club can order sufficient components and prepare for the event.
For questions or additional information, please contact Jesse by email.
