Template:Concept

Region Name is a 44Net region stewarded by one or more Regional Coordinators. Regions reflect historical organization around geography, RF activity, and community practice, and may evolve over time.

Overview

Brief paragraph describing the region in plain language.

What characterizes this region? Long-running RF links? Active IPIP Mesh? Emcomms? Strong maker culture? A history of experimentation? Keep this section short and narrative.

Regional Coordinators

  • Primary RC: Name (Callsign)
  • Additional RC(s): Name (Callsign)
  • Contact: Preferred contact method or link

If the region is currently without an active RC, state that clearly and briefly.

What’s happening in this region

Short summary of current activity. Examples:

  • Active microwave backbone
  • IPIP Mesh interconnections
  • BGP-announced infrastructure
  • Local experimenters running services
  • Educational or club involvement

This section should describe activity, not policy.

Available resources

List any shared or publicly available regional resources, if applicable:

  • VPN endpoint(s)
  • DNS infrastructure
  • Tunnel brokers
  • Gateway nodes
  • Documentation or onboarding materials
  • Regular nets or meetings

If none are currently documented, say so plainly.

Participation notes

Anything newcomers should know about working in this region:

  • Is mentoring available?
  • Are there existing mesh segments to join?
  • Is the region rebuilding or seeking new volunteers?
  • Are there historical allocations still active?

Keep tone welcoming and factual.

History

Optional short section outlining notable historical developments:

  • Early packet radio activity
  • Founding RC(s)
  • Major infrastructure milestones
  • Evolution from RF-only to IPIP or hybrid operation

This section helps preserve continuity and context.

Relationship to broader 44Net

Brief explanation of how this region participates in the larger ecosystem:

  • Connect usage
  • IPIP Mesh coordination
  • Independent BGP operations
  • Cross-region collaboration

Keep this high-level.
