[MLB-WIRELESS] Help! Me set up Hoppers first active Node!

[Tony Langdon]

After about.. Oh, ages, I'm finally getting into gear to set up Hoppers
Crossing's first Active node.  Here's what I need to do:

 - Get an appropriate antenna (I have an ex-Galaxy antenna in the shed that
needs mod'ing, but would also like to get an omni.) 

Talk to Troy (txrx) about the omni.... :) 

 - Put it (them) on the roof (2 storey house, tile roof, etc.).  

OK, could help there with a pair of hands. :)

 
 - Set up an appropriate AP.  - suggestions welcome.  

Hmm, anyone? 




I'm going to need a lot of help with this; money, whilst not growing on
trees, isn't too big an issue at the moment, and I'm willing to spend within
reason.  I'm looking for any suggestions from anybody, including the best
way to connect to the nearest active node (somewhere over the bay???),
although that may not be possible just yet. 

Well, you'll have to find someone close, get them interested.  At least by
having your node up, you'll be able to act as a local focus point. 

If anyone can volunteer time to help get this project done, I'll put on an
Antenna raising/AP building party with BBQ etc.  Actually, might be a good
way to get the neighbours interested in this if we hold a public demo on the
street! 

Well, I may be able to help as labour... :)  Keep us posted.
