it looks to me like he may be near the summit, though the topomap is not clear on this.  did i mention the 100foot tower?  maybe you can see all around with it.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure that a view from the Berkeley hills to the NW will help us much. :-(  We've been
looking into uplinks and while we shouldn't rule it out, it seems unlikely that we will find anything that
way. 
There is some chance that the internet archive folks would be interested if he has a view across the bay to SF
though?

      So a friend of mine knows a guy in the Berkeley Hills who is real nice.

      I talked with him on the phone and suggested that he let us put up a tower at his house, and use
      it for the mesh network, and give him free internet. He said that sounds great but cautioned that
      his view is to the northwest.

      His address is 1130 sterling ave, berkeley if you want to look at it on a topographic map or even
      visit.  If you want to visit, let me know and i'll call him and coordinate a date when we can go
      over there.  He owns his house and is a nice guy.

      There is a telescoping 90-foot tower in my driveway.  I paid $100 for it and Marc paid $45 in
      gasoline to go get it, and I don't think I have a place to put it.  If the mesh group wants to buy
      the tower and put it up somewhere, for example at Charlie's place, that would work fine.

      1130 sterling ave, berkeley

      what do you think?
