  • Attempt to realign the dish to fix failed connection to Mt Vaca East. Failed, so must now do the other end.

November 2023

  • Installed new airFiber radio and dish pointed toward Mount Vaca.
  • Installed hAP ac2 to provide xlink over airFiber radio.
  • Installed EdgeRouter X SFP to provide backbone functionality at site.
