NodeKKX
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.Node History
July 2011Brian 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.
I have provided some screenshots of the scanning undertaken by Rob Britt and myself.

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.
