I'm pleased to report that the Hamilton Amateur Radio Club Mesh hub is on the air. Located at the corner of Fennel Ave. and Upper Gage Ave. in Hamilton, Ontario, with an antenna HAAT of about 75 meters. We've installled 3 Ubiquiti Nanostation M2's on the North, East and South side of the apartment penthouse. All are running Broadband-Hamnet V 3.0. Nodes are named VE3NCF-EAST, VE3NCF-NORTH, and VE3NCF-SOUTH.
In doing some mobile signal checks, I was able to link up using a Nanostation M2 on my van's roof rack from the intersection of Brant and Dundas in Burlington (right below the repeater tower). Coverage projections indicate good coverage into Burlington and Oakville across the bay, and most of the central mountain area of Hamilton.
It's entirely possible that a link could be established to Oakville across the lake, although the distance becomes challenging.
Please, if you do establish a connection grab a screenshot of the mesh status page showing LQ and email me. At the moment, no services are on the network, but are being planned for a spring instaillation.
We still have some configuration tweaking to figure out, but don't anticipate taking the nodes down for more than an occasional reboot.
More details will appear on the club website: http://www.hamiltonarc.ca
