Let's say you're out at the Block at Orange where there are plenty of hi rise office buildings around. Of you are in NYC. If you had a good yagi, could you conceivably point it at all the windows on the buildings, all 40 floors maybe, and get any APs that may be out there? Or do they broadcast enough so that being at the ground floor would pick them up?

I'm trying to figure out the best way to stumble when hi rise office builsings are involved, surely there may be plenty of APs in those!
