[NCARC] 2.4GHz WAN from Pringles CAN

Tue, 25 Feb 2003 00:30:51 -0700 (MST)

I mentioned to Mike already but there may be others interested. I've been
working with CWX (www.cwx.net) a real wireless WAN network with repeaters
on the foothills, and about 50 members right now. We've got a lot of
experience with making this network work over the last few years.

If you're interested in wireless Internet access, please check out the web
site or let me know.

BTW, even though the equipment is Part 15, we try hard to cooperate with
other systems in the area to reduce mutual interference. Unfortunately,
the background noise on 2.4GHz keeps increasing. Please be careful when
beaming signals around, as it could wipe out users of various wireless
ISP's and even some of the Poudre school district's wireless Internet
access.

73,

John, NK0R
