== Description ==
The ComputerClubsCamp2012 needed an internet connection. IPoP (IP over carrier Pigeon) and laser links were discussed, but practicality prevailed and [BOB] organised a couple of 3G dongles.

In brief, put power and ethernet up a 6m pole, connect to a router with USB dongle and plug that in to a 11dB directional Yagi antenna. What could go wrong.

=== List of people involved ===
##TLA's are cool, but real names are cooler. Also mention if others are welcome to get involved, or remove this heading completely
[BOB] provided the router and 3G USB dongle(s).

[DTK] built the enclosure and mast.

[MRD], [SLX], [EDO] and [*OX] helped on build night.

== Project plan ==
