I'm going to try to get a 24 db beam stuck up on the tower here and figured that you could do some quick testing of the path from Moos to here in Apple Valley then. -- Bryan Halvorson bryan@edgar.sector14.net n0buu From sulrich at botwerks.org Thu Feb 13 11:42:04 2003 From: sulrich at botwerks.org (steve ulrich) Date: Tue Jan 18 11:37:42 2005 Subject: [TCWUG] low cost antennas Message-ID: <20020812213644.GA60230@botwerks.org> this link just made its way across the nocat mailing list. they have kits that you can assemble and they also sell used gear. cheap. http://www.aerialix.com/ -- steve ulrich sulrich@botwerks.org PGP: 8D0B 0EE9 E700 A6CF ABA7 AE5F 4FD4 07C9 133B FAFC From sulrich at botwerks.org Fri Feb 14 00:24:35 2003 From: sulrich at botwerks.org (steve ulrich) Date: Tue Jan 18 11:37:44 2005 Subject: [TCWUG] monthly meeting reminder - cfp In-Reply-To: <20020531112908.A28017@real-time.com> References: <20020531084422.A17146@botwerks.org> <20020531112908.A28017@real-time.com> Message-ID: <20020601075412.C17946@botwerks.org> i can show how this works and get my configuration online. i've got it running on freebsd since the support for this compaq laptop is better. the same principles will apply. i still need to get altq configured on this box but the captive gatway stuff works (well kinda). when last we saw our hero (Friday, May 31, 2002), Carl Wilhelm Soderstrom was madly tapping out: > On Fri, May 31, 2002 at 08:44:22AM -0500, steve ulrich wrote: > > - i can share my nocatauth configuration / public access point > > configuration (unix / networking configuration only - nothing > > interesting from a radio perspective) > > I'm interested in that. > > as a side note, what OSes does NoCatAuth run on? their website is profoundly > non-helpful.

It is an OMNI antenna to a Alvarion unit. The directional "Sector" antenna on the same pole is not 802.11/802.11b. -----Original Message----- From: Matthew S.

While Ben and I were up there we noticed that there is already some directional 802.11/802.11b equipment up there, fortunately it's directional. The area they're in isn't damp/wet, and the power should be safe (and relatively clean). > > There are a couple of TV cameras & microwave links up there > also (one at the top of the ladder up the evaporators) - where > do they get their power from ?

Actually, I moved a couple blocks farther into the neighborhood. There is actually a potentially great building for an antenna location at 1800 Hennepin - it's The Kenwood, an assisted living high rise. I have been on the top and there is quite a lot of good access to tall buildings to the south and west. The management let me up there about 1.5 years ago to take a look. They seemed to be reluctant to additional antennae, but left it open asking for a proposal. I believe there is a VoiceStream cell tower and a huge HAM antenna already up there. It's about 18 stories to the top. There are a couple other high rises between The Kenwood and the Walker - right on Douglas. -Kent
