Looking at<a href="http://wisp.heywhatsthat.com/" style="color:rgb(149,79,114);text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">http://wisp.heywhatsthat.com</a>, it says I need to be 22 feet above the ground to get LOS to capital park. How accurate would you consider this? Would it be pointless for me to try to set this up if I can’t get up that high? I realize that putting up an antenna/hardware would really tell me this, but I’m somewhat reluctant to invest in the hardware if my chances of success are low. I suppose I could always create a portable setup if all else fails.<span id="gmail-m_9012191387618519947gmail-m_5913393374659233754cid:image001.png@01D5269B.CF6E5B00"><image001.png></span><u></u><u></u></span></li></ol><div style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:11pt"><u></u> <u></u></span></div><ol start="3" type="1" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-top:0in"><li class="gmail-m_9012191387618519947gmail-m_5913393374659233754MsoListParagraph" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:11pt">Are there any other tower locations that would be better for me to look at?
