[MLB-WIRELESS] GHO --- Fully Operational

[Tristan Gulyas]

Woot!

A big pat on the back for everyone who was involved.

.. apparently one of the network guys jumped on the 9th floor of our Menzies 
building and said he picked up some melbourne.wireless.org.au stuff with a 
Fluke network analyzer fitted with a wireless module (might see if I can 
bring one of these along to our meeting in July).  Doubt that was GHO, 
though.

With that 8dBi omni, I might get the 1W amp back from a friend and give it a 
try - I'm <10km away but I suspect I may still not be able to get it. 
*fingers crossed*.

Anyone in the Chirnside park/Mooroolbark area connecting to this node?
