[MLB-WIRELESS] New node, very interesting stumbles.

I see i have to open it in netstumbler and you must have done the scan with the antenna vertical as most of those mw nodes have Omni's.

  Hi Guys,

  A friend of mine is looking to setup a link to my place, but considering his positon, that he's elevated and has a great view of all of melbourne from werribee to about Mt Dandenong, I thought I'd do a bit of a stumble and see what all of you thought. The only issue I see with his setup is that he's renting which means he might not be there for ever, but certainly has been there for a few years now, and has no reason to move.

  The Location has been setup in the Node database as IXM or http://melbourne.wireless.org.au/maps/view?IXM

  Now with my Laptop a Veritech 200mw PCMCIA card linked directly to one of Vak's Grid antenna's, standing on his roof the results of the stumble are :

  http://www.users.on.net/~zoi/wireless/nodeixm.ns1

  I've taken some pictures but it was too dark of the evening for them to show anything worth looking at, view was nice though, Certainly I'll be going back and taking some more during the daytime.

  Anyhow in the stumblings for those who couldnt be bothered looking at the ns1 file.

  MelbourneWireless nodes sited include :

  Node FPY   :   nodefpy.wireless.org.au   <-- western suburbs
  Node HKR   :   hkr.wireless.org.au        <-- Dandy foothills
  Node IPL   :   Watti     <-   more local at seaford.
  Node FOB   :   FOB_OMNI     <-- clayton of course
  Node GUR   :   gur.melbournewireless.org.au   <---  what is it rowville now ?

  Certainly we picked up 32 SSID's in total from 1 location and about 1/2 of them were WEP enabled.

  Of the other nodes that were picked up several alphalink nodes including a3004, a3149, a3194, a3195....

  Unfortunately, (once again), my own home node did NOT appear, but I do believe that the ditch I'm in is just too low, (I'm buying a waveguide and will be raising my mast higher soon.

  Anyhow, to sum all this up, he's certainly interested in a setup, and will fork out for equiptment to link to me, but is it worth looking at investigating possible sponsering of his site (like that of GHO) to further our network ?

  With that I leave it the matter open for discussion.......

  Phil, (aka Zoi , @ Node HPL)
