Node A-Toys

Today was the first day I got to see the completed Node A-Toys install. The facilities were impressive, and I felt very special pulling up through the secure gate and parking inside! The gate also closes and locks, which is always good too. Last time I was at the site, there were some..well...strange people wondering about.

To see what we were competiting against, I threw a spectrum analyzer on the heliax. It was amazing how much noise and spurious emissions popped up on the display -- both WiFi from around Seattle and noise from other non-WiFi operations on the tower.

I found a couple holes in the noise, and passed them onto Rob. I suspect that things will be a little cleaner into the tower now. Pictures to follow.
