+I guess I could say that I am operational now but only in a very limited way. I have a link to a neighbour about 50m away that we use to share my Internet connection. Using a Cisco 1200 AP with a Cisco 5dbi Omni at my end with my friend using a Belkin 802.11g PCI card with a home made Cantenna. 

+ 

+Currently deciding on what sort of Omni I want to build on the roof of the house for inbound connections. Currently thinking waveguide or something commercial from Pacific Sattelite. 

+ 

+Since my last update there are a lot of operational nodes including backbone connected nodes showing up very close. Next week I want to get up on the roof and wave a directional antenna around to see who I can see.

+ 

+Finally moved into the new house. Doing network cabling now and getting ADSL installed so should be ready to start testing soon. Yipee! 

+ 

+8th April 2003 

+ 

+So it seems that my house will be ready sooner than expected. I am moving in on 30th May, 2003. I hope to have my study set up within the first few weeks so that I can move to testing phase. It looks like there are a fair number of nodes coming up near me so I should have lots to connect to. 

+ 

+The only problem that I can see is that there is currently no broadband available at the Heath. No ADSL or cable! This will need some work. 

+ 

+December 2002: 

+ 

+I am currently building a house at the new Heath Estate in Heatherton. Due to be finished in June 2003. Shortly after this I will be putting up the mast and connecting first to a friend of mine who will be living 2 houses away and secondly into as much of Melbourne Wireless as possible. 

+ 

+I am thinking a high gain omni-direction for the inbounds and a number of directional antennae for outbound links. 

+ 

+If anyone else has similar time frames I would love to hear from them with a view to planning out our little neck of the network.
