Hi Peter,<br>
<br>
How about we start out with the Australian WiFi record? I believe
the W.A. guys established a fairly long link out to Rottnest Island
some time back. However, I know of no longer link than Peter
Buncle's hop from Kallista to the original Highton location at
around 100 Km's.<br>
<br>
A Picnic/BBQ trip to Mt Buninyong would give us a path of 127 Km
back to node GHO at Mt Dandenong.<br>
<br>
I donated a 2.4 m domestic sat dish and Rob B built up a 2.4 GHz
feed and tripod for the dish. They are still sitting in my shed
ready for such a project.<br>
<br>
Regards<br>
<br>
Dave<br>

Perhaps our friends at the Adelaide wireless group could set
up a node in their group pointing at us? </font></div>
