<p>Hi Jeff,</p>
<p>Thank you for those observations. I used to have Clearwire and
that worked well here. I don't know if that is significant...?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>

<div dir="ltr"> Just a thought. I've done this before with
excellent results, and also with very poor results. The glass
matters. If it's just standard window glass, like in a house,
it's invisible (well, for all practical purposes) to RF, and
won't present an issue. But if it's "office building glass" (ie,
tinted, etc), I've had cases where it's almost completely opaque
to microwave RF. Might be worth testing with borrowed gear
(assuming line of sight works out) before spending any real
money.

My view toward Gold Mtn is blocked, but my clear view is
more toward<br>
Bainbridge Island, the Bangor Base, Green Mtn etc.<br>

Do You think there is a chance that I will be able to make
this work? I<br>
don't mind taking a chance and trying it if there is any
hope of it working.<br>

Thank You Bart.<br>
