Spelling: NodeACD
NARRE WARREN
Ok, the antenna (TIB Omni) is up on a 1.8m eaves mount mast (yes, it
DOES clear the ridge line, JUST!), and I'm scanning for contacts.
NodeGMI [1] had made intermittent contact, and we're trying to get
something a little more robust happening.
Unfortunately, there are some dirty great houses between us :-(
Anybody else in the northern end of Narre Warren (see the view from
the roof) willing to try and connect - if so, the config details are
in Locfinder [2].
The Omni is Vertically polarised, so anyone trying to connect will
need to bear this in mind.
I'm in iBSS mode so you'll need to know the SSID of wireless.org.au
and channel 11 to connect (there is no Linux HostAP [3] type app that
will work with my Enterasys card that I know of - if you do, please
tell me!).
See the view from the roof here: (Don't forget to scroll to the
right, this is a BIG Panorama made with software from Panorama Factory
[4] - in case you recognise anything, when scrolled to the far right,
you are looking due North)
