[Mesh] Richmond tower update

[Pete Forsyth]

Thanks Paige!

Just for what it's worth, I have a friend who lives in a pretty central
place in Richmond -- not at all a techy (like NOT AT ALL), but somebody I
could probably persuade to help out if all we need is for her to let us
hook up some stuff in her place. So feel free to ping me once you learn
more about where the repeaters are, if having somebody on the ground in
central Richmond would be helpful.
