[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 3 points 9 months ago (3 children) Tree? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] rumba@lemmy.zip 2 points 9 months ago (2 children) A tree would be neat, how the heck do you get solar to it though? I need do some experiments with my drone and see if I can get LOS to somewhere useful. The development I'm in has a hill in the way and no trees. I don't really want to try to sneak it on my neighbor's roof. There's a 5-story apt building, not to far, but i'm not sure it has RLOS to the school and it has no service areas on top, all tin roofing. There's a 3-story hotel that has the right kind of roof layout, but it's way out of RLOS from me. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 months ago (1 child) Could you ask your neighbor? If you had convenient trees you pick a pine tree that is bare that hasn't been outcompeted by other trees. It doesn't work as well with decidous forests. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] rumba@lemmy.zip 2 points 9 months ago Ahh damn, yeah, the only pines we get here are hand-planted... good info though, thank you! permalink fedilink source parent
