[MVMA] John W. W8LRJ -Beavercreek: Attempt to link with Tim's loaner nodes

[John Westerkamp]

So near and yet so far!

I tried connecting to MVHS and Xenia to no avail. I am worried that the
trees on my southern and eastern horizons block the view. Of course, I
could have been doing something wrong, too, but I was able to connect to
KAS with over 40 dB SNR and saw the entire mesh grid when I moved down the
street so I had clear line-of-site to KAS.

I will see about getting Tim's loaner again and setting it up on the roof.
That should be about 25-30 feet high. I would like to be a mesh user on the
network, if possible.

Thanks!

John
