Breaking News!!!


Yes, that's right! We've established a link using a Toshiba MiniPCI card in a laptop on one end, connected to ECF's waveguide with a Veritech on the other... OVER 700 METERS!

Strangely hard to believe? I thought so too... But check it out. There's a semi-perminent link established between NodeECF and NodeIIA. And here's the even HARDER to believe part.. This link is established at 11Mbps... Send/Receive BOTH ways, and communication is possible... In your face laws of 2.4Ghz :)

Rob - NodeHTP reporting from Altona.. Back to you Kent.



Master craftsman Adrian NodeHUY has made a cheap microwave stable enclosure dubbed the cocoon by Rob NodeHTP see below ..
Do-It-Yourself Rob NodeHTP opted to go the way of the pool stick mast, complete with taped on downpipe see below ..

The Cocoon Pool Mast
Materials required:
                   * roll of gladwrap 
                   * roll of tape



Wireless tests were carried out between the cocooned WRT54G and a senao both connected to downpipes.
Unfortunately due to an antenna and height problems at HTP no link was able to be setup, BUT after a trip to "the mound" and picking up NodeHTP and NodeECF using a yaggi things are looking promising.
