Re: Bank of America Tower

Getting an SWN radio on top of BB might be a bit difficult.  An  
opportunity is coming up w/ the campus wireless initiative, some  
emergency operations talks, and the COS wireless initiative that  
might allow me to bend some ears to our purpose but frequency could  
start getting scarce.  I'm not sure what the LOS is from the BB roof  
as I haven't been up there.  I would have liked to be able to leave  
the Cisco 340 bridge on harborview for SWN use though, it had a great  
view :)
