[edit] 29 April 2005 - walkabout

These are various pictures taken on a drive-about to inspect various highsites and get signal readings from the clinic.

Probably Lassy's first day, here holding a Yaggi

[edit] Ideal highsite

We identified an ideal highsite, the owner worked in Johannesburg and was not at all interested in us mounting an antenna on his roof. The house itself sat exactly on the ridge and could see the clinic as well as the hospice.

Looking back towards the clinic

Looking towards Sikele High

Looking across the road towards the hospice

A view of the house, we would have mounted the antenna on the leftmost part of the building

[edit] Teachers' training centre

The teachers' training centre would have been ideal but due to problems with equipment we never used this site. Know that we use OLSR this could probably be easily connected.

Looking back towards the clinic, Legogote mountain to the left is very close to the clinic
