Sure.

I think Doug and Steve have done a little testing.  I have got line-of-sight
from the server room window to ... <peeks out of window> ... I guess it's
Tog Hill and that long ridge there.  Probably about 5 miles or so.  We could
also try tests from prominent locations in Bristol, like St. Michael's Hill,
and Lodge Hill.

BTW, I only connected one of the antenna connections to the Solwise.  Anyone
got any ideas as to whether I should attach the second connection to either
the Solwise, or to another connector?  I may salvage some more range by
removing the OEM antenna from the second connector if they are run in
parallel.
