A volunteer-built, RF-linked statewide backbone for hams who want to ragchew, build, break things, and fix them. No dues. No politics. Open spectrum. Real hardware.
A teachers lounge for the advanced technical crowd. Preserving duplexer tuning, RF propagation, tower work, and repeater-building knowledge — the tacit stuff that goes silent key with the old guard if we don't capture it now.
Protecting the right of every licensed ham to experiment, break things, and build on open RF systems — without commercial gatekeeping, club politics, or a dues card to prove you belong.
A self-healing, outage-proof 6m backbone that routes around damage — RF-only when the internet fails. No single point of failure. No commercial dependency. Built by engineers, for engineers.
"The Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it." — TTN doesn't wait for permission to communicate.
