[MLB-WIRELESS] List of all active web servers on MW

Sat Mar 14 22:21:27 EST 2009

G'day,

Not certain yet, but it will be Mikrotik RouterBoard of course ;-)

The routerOS provides proprietry protocol extensions that are supposed to
make it work better over long distances.  I have heard several reports that
it works well, but I want to see it for myself.  Therefore, I think that
lovely banks to Pt Cook would be a good exercise.

Rob is hoping to put up a test transmitter pointing this way, and then I'll
see whether I can read anything.  If something shows up, then that is proof
that a good line exists, and so I'll put some 5.8gig (or perhaps 5.4)
equipment toward it.

Cheers!

G'day,

I still need to try out a vertical pol antenna, and I haven't got the radio
tuned up full transmit power (I put it up before I realised that it was
power limited (duh!) and needs a firmware reset to fix - and yer, need to
get it down off the pole to reset the firmware! ;-)

I intend to earmark some 5gig gear for a link too, but I really want to have
a go at connecting to point cook first.  If that fails, then there may be
some further opportunity to use it as a step-off to some alternative
intermediate site like portarlington perhaps.

Cheers!

Mike.

Scratch that...

http://203.208.92.100:8082

Also, my link to MW seems a bit dodgy at the moment, possibly due to this
(glorious) rain, so it may take a couple of days to discover enough node
detail to be useful.

Cheers!
