--- The May Personal Telco started with the arrival of the Personal Telco SatelliteTruck in full regalia outside "Itsa BeautifulPizza" on the 3341 SE Belmont. The plan was to see if the 2.4 GHz yagis on the 27 foot mast could hit the node at PsychonauticalBookstore. No go. |
The May PersonalTelco meeting started with a bang with the arrival of the Personal Telco SatelliteTruck in full regalia. Erik and Nigel parked it outside ItsaBeautifulPizza at 3341 SE Belmont for the meeting. The plan was to see if the 2.4 GHz yagis could hit the node at PsychonauticalBooks. No go. Everyone took turns climbing in the van and flicking the switches to run the 27 foot mast up and down (it runs on compressed air). The mast is rotated using an ordinary antenna rotator. On top of the mast is Nigel's Intel access point, a 2011 repeater model. Nigel informs us that the "repeater mode" requires it to be pointed to another 2011, however. The mast-mouted AP, inside the Pelican case, is attached to one of three antennas; a 6 db omni (it looked like Don's), and two Yagis, a DYI (from South Africa) and another of similar size lashed parallel to it. A flashing red strobe added sex appeal. Inside the van, a FreeGeek (library box) and monitor as well as multiple laptops were available. An industrial strength, rack-mounted APC uninterruptable power unit and various gizmos were demonstrated. Power was supplied from ItsaBeautifulPizza by plugging into the power recepticle on the side of the van. It was quite a sight! After some knob twisting and pizza ordering, the assembled masses (about 50) wandered downstairs for the meeting.
