[MLB-WIRELESS] Long distance links

[Peter Buncle]

Hi Ben,

(For those interested I'll be showing a 
radio mobile demo at this Friday's (14th) MW meeting
And I'm put the images up on mw at 
)



I've done some plotting with radio mobile 
and I don't think the nearest trees are your problem.

You really need to get a note on the nearby hill ,
It'll then cover all of port arlington and provide 
a great bounce point to melbourne.

If you can start researching the site we can provide 
The expertise and equipment to get it running.

See the plots at;

Ben, can you visit the hill and take photo's and enquire about 
access / power ?

You'll be amazed what may happen if your nice and just ask.
(get a name / contact number if you manage to contact someone)


Cheers

Peter
Vice President
Melbourne Wireless

I won't be down in Port again for a while, but when I do I'll start
looking...
