29 April 2005 - walkabout

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

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.

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.
