[HamWAN PSDR] HUB mobile hamwan with WiFi hotspot working

[Randy Neals]

Hi Robert,

I think it was you that brought your portable HamWAN rig to the Seattle ACS
meeting.
Thanks very much - I think it was a good demo to help other folks
comprehend the simplicity of HamWAN client equipment.

For emergency purposes, a portable station could be quite handy to operate
from your nearest Seattle Emergency Hub

Thanks also to Kenny for the talk on HamWAN at the ACS Meeting.
