I now have a permanent link to Node IBO after loss of signal to Node
FPY. Resumption of packet flow to FPY is on the cards as soon as time
is found to hoist a cantena/galaxy/omni and point it at FPY from IBO.
IBO has excelent signal strength to FPY.
I have also constructed a couple of Omni antennas and as soon as
testing is finished they will be operational at BED and IBO. If you
see them by all means link up and let me know
cheers
11/7/04- Managed to get a stable link to FPY using a Veritech card
and the galaxy connifer antenna with a "no need to modify horn". The
link appears to be skirting a tree on the horizon? Will leave the node
on 24/7 but since its directional I might have to organise the minitar
and an omni to reach out to the neighbourhood.
I curently have an operational access point on a 4.5m mast with a
directional 24db galaxy. If you wish to do some link tests I am more
than glad to turn my antena in your direction. I can see node fpy
however due to compatibility reasons we dont have a link yet.
I also have other wireless odds and ends so I can netstumble the
neighbourhood...so if you pop up in my neighbourhood please feel free
to establish a link up with me
At some stage I might even put a omni directional antenna on the mast
to see if i can get a larger coverage.
I would like to develop a friendly network around this area so if you
need help seting up please do not hesitate asking me. I am quite happy
to climb up on your roof with you to help you install your wireless
gear etc... Also if you like i can help you modify your galaxy antenna
(free, you supply the cable and connectors)or give you some hints on
how to get one
Dont forget the melbourne wireless meetings, they are a wealth of
information and you can source cheap wireless gear like connectors
cables etc... I'm usually there too so seek me out.
remember "if you build it they will come"
Dont forget the irc channel on ausnet #melb-wireless. I am there most
nights as HoracePinker [1].
