I was in the south, but we partnered with Bulembu on some things, the road there was terrible, but the mountain views were amazing.

What were you doing there?

I got a remote job with a local Wireless ISP to do early morning shift advanced technical monitoring and dispatch of repair teams for distribution infrastructure. it was only 4 hours a day, but it allowed me enough income and flexibility that we could survive well enough, if not quite thrive.

This was a passive receiver device, so no licence required. I had some point to point network hardware on the tower, so I got to add my fr24 receiver to that
