Rage HS Setup - 4th September 2010

On the 4th September 2010, the Helderberg chapter of CTWUG is going to setup the initial backbone configuration of Rage HS/Relay Node . We will be establishing the following backbone links:

*  Rage HS/Relay Node  <=>  Triton HS
*  Rage HS/Relay Node  <=>  Drake HS/Relay Node

We will also be installing a sector antenna for general use.

The overall intention of this configuration is to establish a triangle between the three sites so that we have a decent level of redundancy. This paves the way for the eventual move of the existing Triton HS <=> Mercury HS to Drake HS/Relay Node <=> Mercury HS, which all going well will happen once we are satisfied the backbone links are stable.

Plan

The basic plan is for us to be at the HS at 10am on Saturday. Once all of the installation work is done, we will first align a grid to Drake HS/Relay Node (Drake has time constraints), then we will align the other grid to Triton and see if establishing a usable link is possible.
