I know development on the WiFi front can be slow at times as our lives become engrossed in the day to day living of work and more work.  But every now and then we get the opportunity to play.  On Wednesday the 14th of October Phill (XtremeX), Jase, Jim, Cazam, Eric all worked together too bring some open access points at Access Mount Ovens to fruition.  While the morning sky was a deep clear blue we soon fought against contstant, freezing winds estimated at over 30knots which makes modification and installation very difficult 70 meters in the air.  We battled against the oncoming onset of rain that we could see in the distance and the effort of scaling the tower numerous times.

Mount Ovens will open up many parts of Bathurst previously unaccessible due to hilly terrain and no LOS

Mount Ovens provides the following Access Points
bwifi-ap-mtovens-a
bwifi-ap-mtovens-b

Existing list of AP's
bxwifi-ap-mountpanorama
bxwifi-ap-xace
bxwifi-ap-xtremex
bwifi-ap-bs-2

bxwifi-ap02 may be up but is not connected atm (unfortunately due to storms in the area).  Barnacle who maintains this AP is currently located in Antartica!!!!  So if you can only see bxwifi-ap02 please be patient as Barnacle will restore his great setup on his return in December.
You can read more about Barnacles adventures here www.vk0bp.org

Cazam has relocated in to his new house an will have his AP up shortly.
