<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hi all</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Would anyone out there be interested in attempting
the world unamplified 2.4 ghz wifi record?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The record I think is held by some Venezuelans
(some Italians hold the 5.7 Ghz record).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The strategy would be as follows</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>1. Use an established MW node such as GHO
North as one end of the link.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>2. Go about 400 km+ in the direction
the node antenna is pointing and erect a node and directional antenna,
perhaps solar powered, with a small computer and high gain antenna pointing at
the MW node. Perhaps our friends at the Adelaide wireless group could set
up a node in their group pointing at us? </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>3. Monitor 2.4 ghz beacons and when there is some
tropospheric ducting try the link. Or better still just automate things so that
when the station is heard it automatically tries to transfer a video from one
end of the link to the other.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Successful transfer of video = world
record</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>cheers </FONT></DIV>
