Coverage Announcement from JPL Pasadena

I'm happy to report a new installation and coverage from JPL Pasadena area.   A work party of the JPL ARC, president Jonathon KF6RTA, and vice president Josh KB3UUS, and invited guests Don KE6BXT, and myself AE6XE installed 5 mesh nodes at the Lab.   The follow area coverage is now available to area meshers:

JPL Mesa (repeater site):   5Ghz Rocket with 120deg Sector 19dBi coverage southeast.   ch 171 @ 10Mhz SSID = AREDN
JPL Building 180:  5Ghz Rocket with 120deg Sector 16dBi coverage of Lab area

A point to point 3Ghz link was established to Pleasants Pk and 2 additional mesh nodes established links from the building 180 up to the Mesa repeater site.

On my drive home, I tested a 20 mile link from Rowland Heights / Diamond Bar Area and established a link with ~12dB SNR received.  See coverage map here:

The OC Mesh welcomes the JPL ARC and other area members to the mesh!
