<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hi All,</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">After about.. Oh, ages, I'm finally getting into gear to set up Hoppers Crossing's first Active node. Here's what I need to do:</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"> - Get an appropriate antenna (I have an ex-Galaxy antenna in the shed that needs mod'ing, but would also like to get an omni.)</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"> - Put it (them) on the roof (2 storey house, tile roof, etc.).</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"> - Set up an appropriate AP. - suggestions welcome.</FONT>
</P>
<BR>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I'm going to need a lot of help with this; money, whilst not growing on trees, isn't too big an issue at the moment, and I'm willing to spend within reason. I'm looking for any suggestions from anybody, including the best way to connect to the nearest active node (somewhere over the bay???), although that may not be possible just yet.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">If anyone can volunteer time to help get this project done, I'll put on an Antenna raising/AP building party with BBQ etc. Actually, might be a good way to get the neighbours interested in this if we hold a public demo on the street!</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Once this one is set up, I'll be looking at setting another one up in Sunshine.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Cheers,</FONT>
