We're investigating locations where we can mount radio, wireless, free-space optical and other network equipment at a high-point - a rooftop, hilltop, treetops or other structures with legal and negotiable access. Our [[:space:building#roof_area|building's roof]] is disqualified, as we presently have no access to, and no permission to access, the roof of our building. (Bummer.) ## SODO ### Beacon Hill Bluffs **Corner of Beacon Av S & 11th Ave S**   There is a trailhead entrance that goes in two directions down this bluff, one gently alongside it, and one more steeply down it. #### Potential benefits - Excellent view of the SODO area, I-90, I-5 going south out of Seattle. - Good view of downtown Seattle high-rises, in the event a repeater is reachable. - Very close to Re-PC, which often has folks with mesh radio hardware in their cars visiting. - Looks like it's not on private property. - Thick evergreen vegetation makes it easier to hide a small device and solar power harvesting nearby, especially if disguised. - Nearby encampment downhill of it likely has an interest in cheap radio. #### Potential risks - Landslide - It's upon a bluffside that looks like it may have encountered slides in the past (which may have taken out 11th Avenue, hence the barricades). - Weather - Being on a bluffside, high wind and steep geography could bring down the tree or tower we mount such hardware onto.
