[Mesh] Satellite dish antennas

I want to start doing some experiments with roof to roof wifi. I think it would be a worthwhile to get two portable satellite antennas with tripods and see what we can get out of them. With such a minor investment in equipment we will be able test whether two rooftop locations can connect to each other before we go out and buy dedicated equipment for installation. The small direct tv dishes can be had for $15 to $25 on craigslist. I found the following on craigslist for $35: *Two satellite dish tripods *Alignment compass *Two small satellite dishes The problem is that it's spread over two locations, one in Hayward and one in Milpitas. Are any of you going near Milpitas and/or Hayward this week and would you have time to pick this up? If not, I can probably go on a field trip. If we get this stuff, then we would additionally need: *Two sets of binoculars (we only need to borrow them) *One more compass *Two wifi usb adapters or smaller wifi to ethernet adapters What would be really amazing is two sets of binoculars with built-in compasses, but we can do without. -- Marc Juul
