Thanks to our newest member, Pete, we're finally starting to get some 
momentum going. I went over to Pete's today and we did some testing from 
his roof in Harbor Bay, and as you can see, it's quite a view:

Armed with a Linux laptop running Kismet, a Senao 100mW card, a homemade 
cantenna, and a commercial 24dBi, we picked up 212 networks from his 
roof! We started out with the cantenna and easily picked up several 
Alameda nodes on the main island, and then we moved to the 24dBi and 
tried to hit BARWN on San Bruno, but no luck there for some reason. As 
we slowly sweeped to the right, we had no problem picking up several 
SFLAN nodes, including sflan12, sflan14_a, sflan3, and sflan11. We also 
had strong signals when pointing in the Oakland/Berkley direction to 
DarkerSun-Touchless, and DarkerSun-Westmoorland.
