[MLB-WIRELESS] Regional Groups

[Paul van den Bergen]

doesn't look to bad as a first cut...  the key point so far from the 
emails is to see how it evolves.

To that end, do we have any data on the network connections currently 
set up or even the node locs so that we can start to take this the next 
step?

(thinks:  this is starting to look very GIS)

On another note:
A collegue and I were going to try and set up a LOS link between our 
respective houses near the eastern edge of the Eastern Region (I live on 
High st rd at the crest between galaghars and Springvale roads, he lives 
off high street road west of springvale rd.  We think we have line of 
sight... just maybe... if the tree in the way that has lost it's leaves 
over winter stays that way (yeah right!).  so we are looking to connect 
through a third party (at the moment this is an academic excersise to 
see if we can... we need to build boxes, cables, cantennas...)

anyone interested?  it's about time we set up a solid group of connected 
houses in that area (I live on the crest of a ridge overlooking the 
dandenongs... I can see the dand foothills, notrons park, parts of 
wheelers hill, the bits of Vermot/GW south of Burwood Hwy, and some way 
back up towards Springvale Rd.
