Scan Day - 27th August 2010
On the 27th August 2010, the Helderberg chapter of CTWUG is going to do a scan day, in order to check the feasibility of links between Rage HS/Relay Node , Triton HS and Drake HS/Relay Node. We will also be setting up a new backbone link between Drake HS/Relay Node and Triton HS.
Participants
| Rage | Triton | Drake |
|---|---|---|
| Marais | Wetkit | Drake |
| SaS | Amberdrake | BigMikeDavis |
| KaapseRebel | pmurgs | SilverSurfer |
| SirPremacy | Otto |
Plan
The basic plan is for everyone to be at their respective HS location at 10am.
Triton
Wetkit, Amberdrake, pmurgs and SirPremacy will first set up a second grid at Triton and point it at Rage. Marais will then scan for this and check that a decent link is possible. Once this is complete, the grid will be pointed at Drake and a semi-permanent link will be established.
Rage
Marais will be scanning for Drake, Diabolix, Leda, pmurgs and Triton
Drake
Drake, BigMikeDavis and SilverSurfer will be at Drake at 9am for some Mercury grid tuning, as well as Rage test-kit setup. Some time after 10am, once the Rage crew is ready, a temporary link to Rage will be setup and tested.
Results
We will have a lot of data for each link, most of which will be gathered by the Rage crew. Keep this table updated with results:
| Site A | Site B | TX signal | RX Signal | TX CCQ | RX CCQ | TX Bandwidth | RX Bandwidth |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rage | Drake | -76 | -76 | ||||
| Rage | Diabolix | ||||||
| Rage | Leda | ||||||
| Rage | Triton | -66 | -66 | ||||
| Rage | pmurgs | -76 | -76 | ||||
| Drake | Mercury | -72 | -78 | 10%-30% | 100% | Unusable | 18-20Mbps |
| Drake | Triton | -74 | 60-80% | 95% | 1Mbps - 6Mbps | 6Mbps | |
| Drake | pmurgs |
