NodeGPR
Node: GPRName: Cuddles (dedicated to the old grey tabby that used to live here)
Location: Reservoir
Supervisor: BenG
Status: Fully Operational
View/Connectability
The view from node GPR is fantastic. Due South is the only direction you can't see for 10+ kilometres. Reservoir, Thomastown, Lalor, Mill Park, Macleod, Ivanhoe, Fairfield, Templestowe, Doncaster and Broadmeadows are all visible from the rooftop. Panorama pics coming soon.Logbook
29/6/04RIP one SVEC AP. Died during the storms we got through here about two weeks ago. I've got a Dlink AP900+ to replace it though, which is more than adequate. 900+ and amp are in final testing, just need to know everything won't get too hot in the one sealed enclosure. Might have to move the voltage regulator to it's own box.
7/6/04: Next steps...
Planning a hardware upgrade. Currently there is only an SVEC AP, so I'm adding an amp to boost the signal, and a WRT54G in client mode to link up to another Melbourne Wireless node.
5/4/04: Up and running!
The node was switched on permanently today, though I'm still trialing the whole setup out. NodeDJJ is permanently linked and provides DHCP services to anyone that connects to GPR.
Anyone in the northern suburbs, get out there and stumble! It should be easy to pickup even with a cantenna if you've got good LOS and are within a few clicks.

4/4/04: NodeGPR going online!
Installation of a 10dBi omni and an SVEC AP went through without a hitch today. AP will be permanently turned on some time this week, as soon as some cabling issues are sorted out.
Managed to grab a signal with 24db SNR from NodeDJJ, so it seems like it will work nicely.
