Parrish, sure. And at least one of them reads this mailing list (though infrequently). I don't think the math forum's still in 101, so I have no clue about that. OK so I have to ask... any chance of the college scraping together some $$$ for their own AP's? Locations are great to have, but useless without hardware after all. And with the Strath Haven condos, well, if anyone who lives there is interested it would be worthwhile but that's not one I'm personally inclined to chase down. We do have to address the matter of who buys what hardware, after all. Still a bit questionable. That's a *steep* peak on that corner building there, and it'd provide a pretty good radio shadow clear across the tracks, I think. Crazy idea but do-able: Your apartment is not far from Michael's. I wonder if the various property managers in that row of buildings would object to some CAT 5 strung from your unit to Michael's roof, with an omni over Michael's, to provide a better placed antenna over the downtown area. I think one omni placed there could serve the intersecting streets there pretty well, the train station for sure, and possibly as far as the library if there were good antennas on both ends and LOS (not sure if there are any trees blocking the two rooftops there). And of course your home LAN could then be hardwired to the AP covering the train station so you wouldn't need a second antenna/access point on your own roof. All of that is contingent on the property managers agreeing to it, but I see this as one of those public service things that can only increase their property value (if anything) :) - --Magnus -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.3.2 (Darwin) iEYEARECAAYFAj7ndJsACgkQYPuF4Zq9lvYpBwCgqib2qaiZgvHe17lHA1zELaq6 hrgAnRe8UIjRW+VdVpYjCc8rpb/UtHCq =1WU8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _________________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group -- http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements - http://lists.netisland.net/mailman/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion -- http://lists.netisland.net/mailman/listinfo/plug
