Looking forward to installing equipment on the Ashton Radio Communications Society tower in the coming weeks.
Many thanks for your tireless efforts - seriously, you have been a passionate supporter of mesh to the benefit of all in our Amateur Community.
Bravo, Keith!

Just thought I update you periodically on our progress.
We made several links with Frederick from Leesburg, Virginia today.
39.166216, -77.588928
We did a 28 mile link between the Leesburg Tennis and WN3R, 39.125207,
-77.567111
The signal strength ranged from 73 to 85.
Testing to the Leesburg hospital is next.

It is too early to draw any definite conclusions but I am willing to say
that a 28 mile link is pushing the limits for
a backbone link unless it is between to perfect high points. I'd think
that about 12 miles is a good distance under average conditions.
It seems you want a signal around 78 dbi or better for an on/off ramp
and a signal in the 60-70 dbi range for the backbone.
