It's about 20 feet lower in elevation at the base than Parrish, but the bell tower's probably the highest point on campus. You don't want to put an AP in the bell tower, though; there's no power up there (besides the dedicated three-phase for the bell's solenoids), and the pidgeons are *vicious*. > I could see a water tower Perpective was fooling you. That's way at the western side of campus, behind the science buildings, back into the Crum a bit. I don't know whether or not the college owns this, but again you'll have power (not to mention accessibility) problems. > and then some other tall structure next to it > with a flag flying from the top of it. That's Parrish. If you can see the dome and maybe some windows, you can see habitable, powered, easy-access (with permission, of course) space. And a site there could (again, with permission) tie into Swarthmore College's internal network. > I *think* I can see your roof, but I'm not sure if it was yours or not. > I took lots of pics of that general area with the intention of showing > you and seeing if one of those was yours. I'll have to look at the photos. But my roof communicates with those closer to the corner, and I know the owners of the buildings as far west as Renato Pizza. > we're doing but doesn't care.

Definitely is. > That would make it really hard to hit the train station directly from > any of the buildings I have access to.

Probably... unless Micheal's got in the way. (I can get to the train track cover, but maybe not the building itself.) -- gabriel rosenkoetter gr@eclipsed.net Attachment:
