[HSMM-COS] [W0TLM] Re: HSMM Node

[Elliot Linke]

I purchased 2 of the 23$ omni and a grid dish. I will report back when they arrive. It seems all of the reading suggests that feed lines be kept as short as possible so I ordered a wrt54g PoE kit that allows the node to be mounted at the antenna and powered at the operating position.

I have no idea what the range of the stock antenna pair will be, but I can see Cheyenne Mtn from the house. I am south of the Palmer Ridge about 1/4 mile and have a good view down the Front Range. Hopefully, I can get it going this weekend, at least on a temporary basis.
