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.
NODE HISTORY
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. The NodeHVC [1]
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.
I have provided some screenshots of the scanning undertaken by Rob
Britt and myself.

May 2011
The NodeHVC [5] Northern and Western radios were upgraded to Ubquiti
5.8GHz equipment. This was done to ensure connections in the west to
NodeKKV [6] (Bunbury Street Railway Webcam Project) and northern
connections to NodeFZJ [7] (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 NodeJLP
[8] 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.
