[MLB-WIRELESS] New Node to be

[Ratbaggy]

Hi All,

The construction of this exciting new Melbourne Wireless hub and its 
backbone links is well under way already.  Up until now the hill at 
Heidelberg has been an obstacle to those in the Northern suburbs trying to 
connect to the East but this will turn the geography to our advantage.

* Mark (IKD ILW etc.) has offered to purchase an 80 watt solar panel and 
construct the power system.
We'll monitor the performance over the first weeks to see exactly how much 
more solar capacity is required.
* A pair of 12V 100A/H battery have been purchased.
* Antennas have been ordered
* R100's are already at hand

We are looking for a large(ish) outdoor enclosure to hold batteries and 
solar regulator.

If anyone has any suggestions on how to configure the site or hardware to 
offer please feel free to comment / contribute!

Regards,

Dave.  (HKG GVQ HLT etc.)
