Future Path Testing Weekend

Woah, didn't realize 106 people were subscribed to this quiet list ;)

Maybe we can pull a few folks together for a weekend of testing various
proposed links.

Ideally, we could get together around 10AM, some of us equipped with
200mW NICs, 24dBi directional antennas and cars to farry around.

Below is a short list of possible future nodes and what needs to be
tested:

...60 Federal/SF (United Layer)
 - Richey on DeHaro St
  Currently installed node SSID: BARWN-Public MAC: 00:02:6f:03:ae:69

 - Treasure Island/YBI
  Will need someone to act as an AP at the other end

 - AlamedaWireless (bridge blocking view?)
  They can likly hit the Bruno node from Alameda Point (former NAS)
  <http://www.barwn.org/images/20030519_bruno/P5190024.html>

 - Berkeley (SSID: DarkerSun.*)
  Mix commerical/free network in the Berkeley Hills, they'd like to
  peer with BARWN (bandwidth c/o 45Mb WMUX link to InReach in Oakland)

 - West Oakland
  My home, can share some of a T1

...200 Paul/SF (Neutral Colo)
 - Bruno

 - Candlestick Point 
  Surly will work, but then what can see this (besides Bruno)?

...Hunters Point
Someone to follow-up with communtiy center, also are the artists still
against Internet?  We know this links to Bruno fine.
 
...Sign Hill (City of SSF)
"The Industrial City" hill, xmas tree hill during the holidays
 
 - Bruno
  Likly blocked to our current Bruno node 

...Farallon Islands
<http://www.barwn.org/images/030205_bruno/south_sf.html>

Someone is needed to make contact with them, are they intrested, does
funding exist for hardware to connect, can we use them as a relay to the
north/south, etc.
