I'm in the process of preparing a new document on the AMPRNet.
I'd like to include a section on the radio-based portions of the
network.
Is anyone actually using the network over radio at this point?
Could you supply some details?
Hi Brian,
Yes (ish),
We turned most of the nodes off last week as we are moving some kit to a
new site, EI8JA is moving his shack and the PSU blew on EI3JB's laptop.
We have 4 Icom ID-1's 44.155.6.225/226/227/228. I was most recently,
doing some testing of OLSR/batman over them for emcomm use.
The plan is to re-locate one ID-1 to a site about 35km South East of me
and put together a little linux box, (most likely some alix boards
http://www.pcengines.ch/alix.htm as we have them, linux distribution
suggestions welcome) for it. Up to recently the site was an ATV node but
no one is using it.
EI8JA would prefer to have something on the tower than nothing, so I
purchased a Diamond X5000 antenna for it.
I'm pretty sure I can hit the site from here, so the intention is to see
how much coverage we can get from the site, and how much of the county
we can service from there. The email is to long already, so I won't
bore you with our other plans.
Regards
John
EI7IG
(All the discussions of the landline-based portions of
the network
are well and good but this network is supposed to be about radio-based
networking and that seems to be falling by the wayside.)
