Dang, I quit paying attention for a few days, and look what I miss! Great
news Marc, and thanks for documenting it so carefully -- and to Jenny for
blogging it. I'm glad I could help move this forward, and look forward to
connecting, hopefully this weekend!
If it will reach, I wonder if a nanostation on my end might be the way to
go, instead of a dish -- in order to offer more thorough coverage to the
area in between our houses?
Huzzah!

Pete and myself Installed a nanostation m5 on a
20 foot aluminum flagpole
in west oakland. The node is about 14 feet above the roof of a two-story
building. The total cost of this install ran to about $145 including all
materials.
Bill of Materials:
* One nanostation m5 loco
* One 4 foot wood beam of 3.5" by 3.5"
* Three 5" by 1/4" bolts
* Three 5/8" washers for bolts (optional)
* Three 1/2" washers for bolts (optional)
* Two 5" hose clamps
* 30+ feet of outdoor shielded ethernet cable
* Two shielded/groundable ethernet plugs
* A bunch of zip ties
The optional washers make it easier to tighten and untighten the bolts
(otherwise they dig into the wood).
Material sources:
* Nanostation from Amazon
* Flag pole from habor freight
* Everything else from home depot
