== Top floor of Oak Tower ==

TODO: external building photo and close-up

This is the site where the access point antenna was installed, pointing east
from the south-most window. Antenna was mounted at shoulder height on a tripod
about half a meter back from the window. The window itself is sunk in a half
meter alcove from the stone surface of the building. Window is fairly large,
about a meter and a half wide. Radio had absolutely no direct line of sight to
the south, though there might have been bounce around in the room and out the
other windws. All the windows are glass with chicken wire with a hole diameter
of a couple centimeters (unmeasured, looks standard).

We did connectivity tests indoors with the "far" radio lying on the ground at
the base of the tower. Very likely there were significant reflections and
scatter in this environment.

== Filling Station ==

The filling station is a coffee shop. It happens to have a very clear line of
sight to Oak Tower (south side), might be a good location to collaborate with.

Had line of sight around here? Don't have any notes.

Unfortunately, tower was completely occluded by City Hall at this location. FNF
hopes to collaborate with the Foundation to provide mesh-local live streaming
music (multicast? broadcast?) in the future.

== Paseo Baptist Church ==

Closest address was 2501 Paseo Blvd.

This was the first site we tried. The line of sight is only to the south side
of Oak Tower, but we were able to get a reasonable connection!

Data from July 6th, 2012 around 15:54 Central.

== School ==

TODO: can't remember the name or address of this school.

Large school on a hill with great lines of sight to the neighboring community,
just barely can see the western-most windows of the south side of Oak Tower.
Actually uncertain if there is coverage at all because tree cover meant that
line of sight photo was taken several meters to the side of the school building
itself. The building is quite tall and should have a clear line of sight over
the trees.

== Truman and Cypress ==

Closest address 4501 Cypress Ave.

We did a quick survey and signal check here. Generally clear line of sight to
the east side of Oak Tower, a few lamp posts and power lines around.

Data from July 6th, around 16:33 Central.

== Park/Hill ==

Closest address was Saint Paul's church.

Excellent visibility of Oak Tower (east side) and the entire downtown sky line.

This is where we did testing the final day (July 8, 2012) around 10:30 Central.

'''IMPORTANT NOTE:''' we were hot and lazy and left the downlink radio lying in
the grass on the side, so it's very possible that we should have been able to
get better signal quality. Also unfortunately we were in a rush and didn't get
a chance to log in to the radios to measure their reported signal strength and
estimated throughput to compare with "actual" measurements.
