intended.

KIP is linked with KFI by virtue of a 24dBi grid antenna over a
distance of around 1.72km which brings me one hop away from the
Geelong -> Melbourne link, JEE.

NODE LOG
30/07/2010
KIP is now active and successfully linked to KFI. Currently achieving
pings of TNC Male for Linksys WRT54G
* Purchased off eBay, $2.99 plus $2.00 shipping. You will need one of
these if you plan on connecting a cheapie antenna, as the WRT54G uses
a TNC plug.
* 24dBi Conifer 2.4Ghz Antenna
* The 16dBi Yagi ended up being a dodgy unit (can't expect much for
$8.99), so I have purchased a 24dBi conifer antenna from
CityTechnology [3] for $100. Hopefully this does a better job than the
Yagi.
* 9m of CL400 cable
* Connecting 24dBi antenna to Linksys WRT54G router. Cost around $55
from CityTechnology [4].
