17/5/09 - John has confirmed coverage at 10klm range no problem at
this stage.
28/9/09 - This node has been fully commisioned and in now
opperational.
it has been linked to at 20klm away, and a scan on the 26/9 from the

This node has been through lots of development of the past few
months but has now settled and balaced well with the renewable power
generation now exceeding needs by a healty margin.
Many thanks to all the people who helped get this node operational !
