[MLB-WIRELESS] Node decommissioning

[sanbar]

On Sunday, May 11, node BCA in Pascoe Vale South will be decommissioned
pending its relocation to West Gippsland. This will involve a dismanting
of the node's 6.5m mast, and reclaiming gear located in the roof's crawl
space.
This node has had a 24/7 link to node BHH in Brunswick West for quite a
few months. The 1.7km link has survived 100kmh-plus winds, torrential
rain, acrid smoke and inept administration to give a sustained 500kbps+
data transfer rate most of the time.
The node's decommissioning will need the expertise of people who can
hold cold beer cans without spilling them, and those who can eat a
variety of barbecued meats without having an undignifying accident with
the tomato sauce. Sorry, these conditions may exclude a number of
melbwireless members.
I'll remind people about the day closer to the date.
- Barry
