NODE: GPR [1]
NAME: Cuddles (dedicated to the old grey tabby that used to live
here)
LOCATION: Reservoir
SUPERVISOR: BenG [2]
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
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. Upgrade should go ahead
some time within the next two weeks.
5/4/04: UP AND RUNNING!
The node was switched on permanently today, though I'm still trialing
the whole setup out. NodeDJJ [3] 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 [4] 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 [5], so it seems
like it will work nicely.
