have done the scan with the antenna vertical as most of those mw nodes have

interesting stumbles.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Guys,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The Location has been setup in the Node database
as IXM or <A

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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 :</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Anyhow in the stumblings for those who couldnt be
bothered looking at the ns1 file.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>MelbourneWireless nodes sited include
:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Node
FPY : nodefpy.wireless.org.au
<-- western suburbs</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Node
HKR : hkr.wireless.org.au
<-- Dandy foothills</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Node IPL :
Watti <- more local at
seaford.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Node FOB :
FOB_OMNI <-- clayton of course</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Node GUR :
gur.melbournewireless.org.au <--- what is it
rowville now ?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Certainly we picked up 32 SSID's in total from 1
location and about 1/2 of them were WEP enabled.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Of the other nodes that were picked up several
alphalink nodes including a3004, a3149, a3194, a3195....</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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 ?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>With that I leave it the matter open for
discussion.......</FONT></DIV>
