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

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
