    Waterford WAN is principally located around the eastern part of Waterford county and connected to Wexford and hopefully soon to Kilkenny. We'd need more people out toward the west of the county to get as far a Dungarvan.

    Check out he south-east section on the Irishwan.org Forums

    Dont know of any hotspots, but the southeastwan should be covering Dungarvan by the summer. We could make it happen sooner if you happened to know someone willing to have a node in the Drum Hills to the south of the town. ;)

    ok, thanks for that.
    I'm on the Ardmore side of the Drum hills.
    I do know some people who overlook Dungarvan though. I presume a node is an aerial with some hardware connected. What advantages would there be for people to host a node?

    A node typically consists of a pole, either freestanding/with stays or on the side/chimney of a house, with at least 1 directional antenna to link to another node, and then typically an omni-directional antenna for people to link in (busier nodes use sector antennas). The antennas are then connected to wireless cards in a pc (either a 'normal' pc, or a more compact ITX or SBC board). I plan to do some signal and LOS tests from the hills there fairly shortly, and will let you know if its possible to establish a direct link to them. Many people are willing to host a node in exchange for nothing other than the convenience of not needing any external antenna to link into the network if it's on their house. Some arent as generous and usually end up getting free internet. ;)
