For all those SERIOUSLY interested please email me (admin(at)pewifi.co.za) a Google Earth KMZ file with your location added including your name and contact details.

Once I have a substantial amount of interest I will reply to the mail with a KMZ file containing the high-site nearest you including all details needed to connect

Don't forget to plot your location on wug.za.net as well.

We have gained allot of ground over the past few days and will hopefully be able to progress further with a little cooperation from all people interested. If you have any info or contacts we can use for high-sites/towers please send me the info as well it will assist us greatly.

We are also looking at getting all interested parties together for a meeting, so if you send your details soon enough I will send you the where and when.

R2k if you use proper equipment. Routerboard 113c/A6P23 Compex/15db antenna box. Will work upto 7km or so if there is a good Ap antenna. And you will still have a good signal. Aim for a signal better than -80 dbm
