[kwlug-disc] Mesh networks in KW

[Bob Jonkman]

Back around the turn of the century, there was a group called Waterloo 
Wireless (probably engineers out of the University of Waterloo) that set 
up a wireless mesh network in Waterloo. They had info on building 
Pringles Cantennas, and other neat stuff. Sadly, they only live in my 
memory; my search-fu has been unable to find a trace of them in years.

And now the name and https://www.waterloowireless.com/ has been acquired 
by a commercial ISP, so I doubt there are any traces remaining at all.
