Background
Node KKX is operated by the Essendon Model Railway Group.  We are a membership based organisation with a common interest in Model railways both HO and N scale.

July 2011
Brian Evans and Rob Britt performed some radio testing using Ubquiti equipment and have successfully connected and associated with HVC-N.melbournewireless.org.au from the KKX site. The [NodeHVC]

Signal strengths did vary but not surprising as the day was windy and the test conditions difficult.  The site is a high site with potential for connections to other nodes.

May 2011
The [NodeHVC] Northern and Western radios were upgraded to Ubquiti 5.8GHz equipment.  This was done to ensure connections in the west to [NodeKKV] (Bunbury Street Railway Webcam Project) and northern connections to [NodeFZJ] (Rob) in Coburg.  Both connections are at this time up and running and stable.

March 2011
The site was surveyed by RATBAGGY and Rob for access to the [NodeJLP] at Heidelberg. At that stage the HVC northern and western radios were running on Motorola canopy equipment.

It as not possible to establish a radio link from the KKX node to the Melbourne Wireless network.  We did see 5.8GHz services to the west of the site, however, they were not suitable for a connection.
