Newbie, but wanting to take on an adventurous project.

Hi all,

I am new to setting up a community network, but I was wanting to have a
little fun with getting introduced to it.  I live on Sammamish Plateau
pretty much at the very top. My bedroom has a view of just south of downtown
Seattle, I can see the buildings, etc (
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&saddr=SE+16th+St+%26+228th+Ave+SE,+Sammamish,+WA+98075&daddr=seattle,+wa&om=1
)...
I estimate the fresnel zone between here and there (16 miles @ 2.4 GHz) to
be ~100 feet. From what I can tell there isn't much within that 100 feet
diameter between here and there.  I am wondering if somebody is within my
direct RFLOS and would be willing to point an antenna my direction, and I
could do the same and see if we can create a link.  I am willing to take any
constructive criticism to whether or not this is possible.  I think this
would be a really fun project if this could work.

Thanks,
Raymond
