Re: [HAM-AG] [IPv6] Request for feedback: draft-evan-amateur-radio-ipv6

Jeffrey,

I too am a new ham, licensed in 2020.

I got in to this topic via AMPRNet [1] and AREDN Mesh [2].
Unfortunately, pretty much all effort to talk IP over the air is IPv4
based at the moment. That's partly why I think now is a good time to
talk about the use of IPv6 on air.

If you would like to chat some more about joining one of these
networks, please message me off-list.
