[MLB-WIRELESS] New world record for wifi link (125 Miles).

[Adrian Lodders]

Ok, so there's interest...
Although to get away with it, like with what Tony said we need somewhere
with good with LOS.  Why not have a look at the links that have been
made on locfinder? If we find a good long distance link, why don't we
see how much further we are able to take it?

And there is also the matter of the dishes and feeds but I think that
can be taken care of without too much of a problem.

Also it world be a good way to promote melbwireless, it seems a bit dead
(mind you, I've never been to any of the meetings)

Hmm, a tough one there.  Someone suggested Mt Macedon, but best distance

I've had without enhancement from there has been around 200km...  with
5W 
on UHF CB.

And we identify the station somehow, like using the callsign as the MAC 
address, or sending UDP beacons with the callsign.  I'm happy to be on
one 
end of such a link to make it legal. :)
