Replaced the grid on GWS with a  boxtenna (integrated panel and radio in box)

The end result was a dramatic performance improvement since the 15m cable run eliminated as well as implementing POE (Power over ethernet). Nearly achieving 700kbytes/sec both ways to GWS. Next goal is to upgrade GWS end to 11g to improve link speed.



Waiting patiently for a stronger signal from GHO so we can get a usable link to mw network to vermont

Installed a new smaller grid to GWS, and moved the larger

grid to be dedicated to GHO-Mobile. Cant pickup GHO-South or GHO-North

at all



Finally got dedicated GRID and radio for link to GHO-Mobile

Only getting -75dbm and 1mbps connection which is real slow

(about 40kbyte/sec down and 8kbyte/sec up)



Need to move the radio upto closer to the grid as losing 4db through

15m cable loss

Changed small grid for link to GWS

Nothing much, Just hanging around waiting for GHO to come to life again

Well finally I've got my omni, and built the antenna.

But picking up no signals out east



Did some test to the Heathmont hill and the omni works fine.



Just no one to talk to out there {/regexpicons/emoticons/emoticon-face4.png :(}



Any interested parties in the Ringwood, Heathmont, East Ringwood, Vermont

or Heatherdale areas drop me an email.
