Also let's make sure the antenna is mounted on a "hydrological high point" ie not anyplace where water is already pooling, as our roof is still very vulnerable to small punctures turning into big leaks.

I imagine they'll probably weigh it down with cinder blocks or something?

What's the plan for physically linking the antenna to the router? How will it penetrate the roof? Do we have enough cable available?

Monkeybrains has expanded their coverage a lot since we last checked, and they
believe they can hit one of their many uplink sites from our roof, and we'll
find out tomorrow!  You should come hang out on the roof with us!!!!!!

Monkeybrains is also solar-powered (at least the Oakland facility) AND most of
their vehicles are electric, so I'm guessing they're more eco-friendly than
LMI :)

and don't forget, LMI is just reselling AT&T...we are literally connected to
the deathstar right now :(

cross your fingers for the install tomorrow!
