This is going to be a long week.
That damn cat has a lot more hair than I do. At least on his head.

I wasn't looking for a full blown site survey, just a little advice from a group with significant experience deploying and "studying" wireless data signals.
Anyway, I've plugged the project into a little GIS application that should save the taxpayers the gazillion contractors charges for a "survey" (ca. $8K). Will probably put up a Cisco omni to hit the centers parking lot and take our contractor's suggestions for reaching the truckers, provided it's cost effective.
Per your reaction to state government, I hope you will be pleased that we just saved you hard working taxpayers $230 a month at the Center by replacing a 128K frame drop with a $50/mth DSL line. I take a great deal of pride in spending as few of your tax dollars as I can. I figure that's probably the only way I will ever get a raise.
Thanks and no more anon.

I'll assume for the moment that you're not being deliberately provoking, but just so you know calling us "chalkers" is about like calling a Jew a "kike". It's insulting, to say the least.dbpaxil wrote:Goodness, we are certainly territorial and rather... I'm glad we presumably share some social or maybe cultural traits. No matter.
