There seems to be a great interest in setting up a Strand WUG with the intention to eventually connect to CTWUG. I would like the people in Strand that would want to use Strand WUG or contribute to it, to put there names here or contact me so we can organise a meeting a get things going.
 
Hey, Im in strand. Having a Strand WUG would be awesome.

Im just not sure about the costs though, and we might be a bit far from the nearest tower closest to CT
 
Theres not reallly high sites in Strand, the best would be on top of a building in beach road.

We need to get more potentials for this, having a WUG only for 2 people so far is not worth it.

Can you join CTWUG and show your support for Strand. Try get more people on. Theres always been a following for Strand but its always been one at a time. Im gonna go have a look at a old age home just before N2 Strand side thats 4 storys and has good roof access. See what I can see from there. Thing about Strand is its completly flat and yeah the only real tall buildings are on Beach road.
 
OK I am willing to join CTWUG and show support for Strand. I will notify a few people about this forum thread that will also be interested.
 
People have tried a million times and failed, no need to try again. But there are loads of small "friend networks" going on which you can join, just non of them want to be affiliated with a WUG and even less with CTWUG.

St Topraz in Strand, already have a 100000's of APs on it, since it is the only flat building in the "golden mile" that allows APs on the roof. And the owner of the farm high up against the Helderberg also kicked off most people there and the remaining masts are all full or don't allow new users.

The hill up against the Rome Glen development, next to Sir Lowerys Road, (Behind medi clinic), that farmer also doesn't want a mast on his property.

I'm willing to help pay for anything on the Helderberg if you succeed in getting spots.
 
Was having a look and the SPAR in Heldervue pretty much over sees everything in Strand. Maybe on the flats there it will be worth to put up a antenna. Might even have LOS to a CT tower.
 
j@w, why so negative?
Yes, I have tried to get site on St Tropez erlier this year, but was rejected, due to we do not do enough for the community - bygones.

The idea about a WUG is to join all these "friends networks" together.
There might be many of them in the area, but they do not know about eachother.

A high site is not a nesessity to start something, just the will to do it.
Get some guys together, have a braai and a few beers and you will be supprised to see how quickly things can start from there.

Like i say, no one wants to connect their WUG's, because the moment they do that, some fool shouts out "OMG LETS JOIN CTWUG!", and none of them want that and then they all disband again, back to their little WUG-CELLs.

If there was an alternative to CTWUG, you can probably try it, but mention "CTWUG" somewhere in the helderberg area and people will start stabbing you with stuff.
 
Would also like to join a WUG in the Strand / Somerset West area.
Have line of sight from Bizweni area to buildings on Strand Beach Road.

Will keep checking this thread.
 
I can maybe hook up something in the near future on the Helderberg, just waiting for more info.
 
nazz , die mense gaan jou nie lief he as jy die woord WISP en WUG in dieselfde topic sit nie...nevermind dieselfde sin! :mad:
