[MLB-WIRELESS] AP on Mt Dandenong

[Jason Hecker]

Hrm

I think it's a nice idea to have an AP up there.... but the area would be 
so swamped with RF from TV and radio, without very expensive filters the 
receiver radio in the wireless card, it might be rendered impotent.

Case in point, if you go to Black Mountain tower in Canberra, there are 
warning signs that car alarms may malfunction.  My remote car locker would 
NEVER work there (OK, it's pico/nano watts... but still) and from memory 
you weren't allowed to operate any transmitters like CBs from up there.  
Black Mountain Tower has a hell of a lot of comms stuff happening, TV, 
radio, mobile phone, all manner of microwave relays and so on.

Although... it's just occurred to me that some govt. depts. were using the 
old Lucent wavelans to link two buildings which the mountain was in 
between.

So I am not ruling it out.. just be wary.

Cheese,
jASON
