Mucking around with wireless.
Using it extensivly for work (Netadmin).
background in signals and electronics, I am experimenting right now.
I have line of sight east-south-east to the dandenongs from home, and
east (10km) from work... so hoping to get some links happening soon.

17 Janurary 2007 - Update: Obtained 2x 24dB ex-Galaxy Dishes (thanks
Jarrod). Ordered my Coax. In the process of scrapping my Yagi design
and finding a way to convince the wife. Establish NLOS to GHO using
"Radio Mobile" (excellent tool! Love it!) Hoping to have an idea of
connetivity once the dipole built. Coax due tomorrow.
19 Janurary 2007 - Update. Finished building dipole, with slight
mods.
Basic testing with netstumbler showing good results. Still not sure
if good enough to get GHO... but once the rain stops I'll find out.
Using SVEC (old) unit with dodgy cabling/wiring so see what happens.
Configured for Client with GHO-South, now I need to put it up on the
pole and see what flys. Oh yea, and will greatly recommend using City
Technology (in Maffra, near Sale) for cable purchases - they shipped
next day to me 3Meters of cable.. Nice!
20 Janurary 2007 - Mounted on the roof (just before the rain came);
Turned it on; No signal!
Bugger - seems that GHO is hidden behind a rise.. and I can get to
it.
Loading Radio Mobile proved that point (should have checked before).
Set unit up as a AP with ssid:JQ, and readjusted to point to
115oMagnetic. I want to do some distance tests with my notebook.
Netstumbler shows that the lobes are exactly what I would expect..
lets see what happens now - maybe I can still connect to one of my
offices?! Fingers Crossed.
