NODE LOG
20/10/2014 - Connected my Powerbeam M5 up to the Microtik RB2011.
Wirelessly connected to the Microtik from my laptop. Can see both the
RB2011 and the radio, which is great. Worth noting that i had to
temporarily put the Java security settings to 'Medium' in order for
airOs applet to load properly. SNR is around -89/-96. Havnt figured
out if that is good or not...
19/10/2014 - First serious test of UbiquitiM5 [5] radio today. I was
able to "see" the KSA tower. I am fortunate that my radio only has to
be mounted around head height at my back door to get a signal. All up
the distance is around 700m, or something around that.
01/10/2014 - First creation of node KUE wiki

PLANS
KUE will be set up initially to be powered by mains electricity, with
future plans to transition to solar pannel with mains backup/faislafe.
Node will include a RaspberryPi [6] or BeagleBone [7], or PCDuino
(i.e some type of ARM based linux / Debian 'Brain') running Arch Linux
and Elasticsearch.
In time KUE will host a 'sensor suite' which will begin with a static
camera, and grow to include wind speed sensors, pressure, temperatute,
and a host of other sensors monitoring station functions (voltages,
currents ...etc).
The RaspberryPi [8] Brain will host interesting files such as
recipes, plans for interesting building projects, area emergency info
(Hospital address, local doctors, Vet, Police etc) and some
information on produce grown in the area up for swap / trade - with
contact details.
In time, it is hoped that i can establish a link down to Phillip
Island, Ventnor.
PROBLEMS
Lack of technical knowledge about networking protocols.
