<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I have a 90cm offset dish that I could tack my

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I am off work until 10th January. Want to try for
the record? You would head out to Ballarat and I'd park myself up at
Skyhigh.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The only issue is what dongle or router should I
use at my end? </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>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><BR><BR><BR>On 27/12/2011 10:30 PM,

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hi all</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </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> </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> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The strategy would be as follows</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </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> </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> </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> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Successful transfer of video = world
record</FONT></DIV>
