Spelling: NodeKKX
Background
Node KKX is operated by the Essendon Model Railway Group. We are a
membership based organisation with a common interest in Model railways
both HO and N scale.
July 2011
Brian Evans and Rob Britt performed some radio testing using Ubquiti
equipment and have successfully connected and associated with
HVC-N.melbournewireless.org.au from the KKX site.
Signal strengths did vary but not surprising as the day was windy and
the test conditions difficult. The site is a high site with potential
for connections to other nodes.
May 2011
The HVC Northern and Western radios were upgraded to Ubquiti 5.8GHz
equipment. This was done to ensure connections in the west to NodeKKV
[1] (Bunbury Street Railway Webcam Project) and northern connections
to NodeFZJ [2] (Rob) in Coburg. Both connections are at this time up
and running and stable.
March 2011
The site was surveyed by RATBAGGY and Rob for access to the JLP node
at Heidelberg. At that stage the HVC northern and western radios were
running on Motorola canopy equipment.
It as not possible to establish a radio link from the KKX node to the
Melbourne Wireless network. We did see 5.8GHz services to the west of
the site, however, they were not suitable for a connection.
