  • Notepads (everybody)
  • Photoshop and picture stitch skills (Matthew, Jon)
  • Pocket Transit... fancy compass... don't know what this is exactly but Russell Has it.

THINGS WE MAY NEED AT THE NEXT MEETING

  • Measuring tapes
  • Rope
  • Binoculars
  • Everything listed under site tools above

FIRST THREE BUILDING LOCATIONS

  • 4008 N. Mississippi Ave (Brick two Story)
  • 932 Freemont St. (Residential Building)
  • Middle, unknown location (contact Michael Weinberg) SEE ALSO: CONCERN SECTION
  • The radio group was checking out the street and getting on top of the [http://www.rebuildingcenter.org/ RebuildingCenter] would be a very good location. --DonPark

THINGS TO DOCUMENT AT EACH LOCATION

  • Height of building
  • Panoramic shots from North, South, East, West.
  • Rooftop mounting locations (chimney, nice physical vantage, non-penetrating roof mounting, etc.)
  • Approximate Distance to other locations (mostly derived data from GPS)
  • Downtilt Mapping From Ideal antenna locations
  • Equipment Vulnerability (weather, theft)
  • Power Locations inside the building with approximate cable run length to access point locations.
  • Space within buildings for equipment houseing. (description, physical location, power situation)
  • Procedure for gaining access to the facility for equipment maintenance.

CONCERNS

  • If the nursery is to be the middle location we should plan around the fact that across Mississippi to the east there is a line of site blockage (approximately 30 degrees by guestimate) by the Richards Homewares Warehouse, which is a mostly metal building, including a metal roof. We will have more information on this later.
  • We are concerned about electrical codes and should seek community support in the form of an electrical contractor.
