Hi all,

And welcome new people to Manchester Wireless the list is still running
although things have been a little quiet of late We are not dead yet!

David funny you should mention this as I was speaking to John Greenwood the
other night and I have total line of sight to Manchester City Centre from
waterloo park and also have an SDSL connection 200 yards away from Salford
university with massive clear views.

With a bit of dedication we could really make a great triangle.

I think really we should have another Manchester Wireless meeting...Harry
are you up for it sir? It is about time we kick started everything again and
I was thinking along the lines of a Manchester Wireless day out with live
demonstrations of how to's.

We could hire a Mini Bus, have some nice food and drinks and basically make
it fun day out. A rather good excuse to get away from the wife and kids.

What do you all think?

Regards,
Reuben

I've been following this list for a while but never say hallo so here I
am. I'm still wordering what is the "vision" of manchster wireless? To
create roof-to-roof links all over the place and thus create a mini
"Internet" with routing and everything or just isolated hot-spots for
access to the Internet? By the way, I'm a member of the AWMN network in
Athens, Greece which has 650 active nodes.

all cuty centre dwellers ?


I will have to fire up my lap top and see if it works
