•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/CTWUG Chat https://chat.ctwug.za.net/ for quick feedback and response from the signal testers after you have made direct contact with them on email.
