Welcome to the KAL Node Wiki..
Node Kal, is positioned on 11 Lang st Beaumaris, at the top of a
large fur tree.

The node is currently under construction, and should hopefully be up
and running in the next few months.
My plans for the node, are to run it on a Pc Engines Alix mini
computer, with 2 Winstron 400mw mini pci cards.
The Node Has 2 Radios at Present, but is looking at adding another
one
Radio 1: 400mw Wistron Dcma-82 connected to Hills 25db Parabolic
Radio 2: 400mw Wistron Dcma-82 connected to Superpass 8.5db Omni
