I'm willing to put up some resources, but unfortunately location is not
one of them.  I've got a little cash to toss around, but I wouldn't want
to blow it all on a relay just yet, especially since I have no place to
put it.  I'll have more later anyway.  I live in a first floor apartment
on Sheridan halfway between the Wilson and Sheridan stop on the Red Line.
Out the front windows I can kinda see some high-rise apartments on the
lake through a wall of trees, and out the back I can see my neighbors'
back porches.  In other words, I'm pretty much out of the game until we
get some decent coverage density.  I am more than willing to perform
anazing feats of configuration for anyone whos wants a hand and I would
love to build and test some directional antennas.
