Hey guys,

1. If anyone is interested, I upped what I guesstimate to be the rough boundaries/range of our antenna's expected line-of-sight towards the East, sketched in google earth - the KMZ file and .png images can be found here:

The northern boundary line is red, a current constraint imposed by the condo caty-corner from us along the north side of 48th. 

The southern boundary line is green, and denotes the future constraint imposed by the projected height of the 4700 Telegraph development which will begin work in 12/2015, and be finished 6/2016. Currently, there is no big building there at 4700, so there currently is no block to line of sight there, but I wanted to map it to better inform the installation location of the antenna along the easternmost disco wall room, in case that helps.  

point A is the wall along which we can mount;
point B is the expected NE corner of 4700 Telegraph;
point C is the SE corner of the existing condo caty-corner from us.

Btw, the lines start from different points on the roof wall of our building, only to show the relative advantages in positioning on the more northerly vs the southerly end of said wall. 

2. With this in mind, does anyone know what direction East the antenna will be pointed? Does anyone have a physical address for the endpoint? I figured line of sight was already confirmed but given this new development I thought this might help.  

Btw, 4700 Telegraph will roughly double in height as compared to the old one. It will be 58'6" at its highest point.

Also in the share is the data from the Nautilus Group - 

Best,
David

Thanks a million for creating an image and shipping out the proposal :] That's great.
And these plans are super interesting. Wonder what their timelines look like.

I passed along the rewritten proposal to John (and mocked up the new image myself, since it was missing from the re-write, I hope that is ok). 

I would like to pass something along to all y'all (which I just received today), which is the new condo they're about to build atop of where Rise Above's old shop was on 4700 Telegraph. 

I don't know the height of the current building (that they will tear down) is, but you may want to make sure we still have line-of-sight to the hills once the new building is up. IE, I'm thinking this might affect the ultimate height of the mounting pole. 

4700 Telegraph planned development:

And here is the one that is going to go in across the street from us - 4801 Shattuck:

THANK YOU APRIL! AND MARC!! <3333

So excited for this node!

BTW 'pole' is misspelled and I think 'Dne dish' is supposed to be 'One dish' :)
