Purpose and rules
The Purpose of the testkit is to be able to test possible/planned links, and to do scans for prospective new Ctwug members.
PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THE FOLLOWING
It's is the responsibility of the prospective member to organize with an already connected member to pick up, scan and return the kit to the Manager of the kit.
The Condition of the kit will be inspected upon return of it, and the person that booked and collected the kit will be held responsible and liable for any damages to it. Testkits will be lent out for a period of 3 days.
LOS Pictures and signal tests
• If you are not sure that you have line of sight to a highsite - get on your roof and take HIGH RESOLUTION pictures in every direction, then upload the pictures on www.ctwug.za.net or http://wind.ctwug.za.net/wind/ under your node's (location's) settings.
•Then connect on IRC and post the link to your node's pictures - the guys on IRC can help you check if you will be able to see the highsite. If you can physically see the highsite you are sorted.
• Please note that a signal test will not be done if you have not taken pictures from your roof and uploaded them to the gallery. The reason for this is that some people have NO LOS at all either because they are totally surrounded by trees or they stay in a Flat with no LOS to anything.
• Please connect and stay on IRC for quick feedback and response from the signal testers after you have made direct contact with them on email.
Please note that the CTWUG member that books the testkit must pick it up and drop it after 3days.
Please consider
If SFW, Beetle001, Kharnyge or another admin is requested to do a scan for you then please be considerate with regards to their time and expenses..
