The Technological Network (TTN) is a Tennessee nonprofit corporation aka a simple Community dedicated to connecting amateur radio operators through resilient, volunteer-built infrastructure.

We begin with a statewide 6-meter FM repeater backbone linked by AllStarLink — providing daily ragchew, travel company, and emergency communications capability to hams who already have 6m on their HF rigs, while offering hands-on learning for new operators.

Long-term, TTN evolves into decentralized mesh LAN networks (900 MHz–5.8 GHz) replacing internet dependencies, creating a self-healing, outage-proof system inspired by professional resiliency but rooted in ham ownership and zero cost to users — enabling future digital modes and advanced applications.

TTN serves as a relaxed “teachers lounge” for the advanced technical community: a space to elmer the elmers, train the trainers, preserve repeater-building knowledge, and mentor youth in real-world RF engineering. There are no dues, no politics, and no gatekeeping — just open access for every licensed ham who wants to talk, learn, lurk, or help build at their own pace.
