Southcrest RPT
The south end of the city mesh. From here the ground falls away toward the 401 corridor, which is the direction a repeater on this side has to cover if anything south of the highway is going to reach the rest of the network.

What it opened up
Write the field notes here once the node is commissioned: which paths it carries that nothing else did, what it hears on a good day, and what the first winter did to the mount.
South of the 401 is the part of this region that has always been hard to reach, and this is the page where we will say honestly how much of it this one site actually fixed.
- Paths gained — the links this site carries that nothing else could
- Measured range — what was heard in the field, not what was modelled
- Known weaknesses — the directions it does not cover, stated plainly
