If you live in, or nearby, Berkeley, take a look for SSID BAY-MESH-BRK. Mostly on channel -2. If you want help getting connected, drop a post in this topic.
Make sure you use the same channel bandwidth as well. The node will NOT see nodes running a different bandwidth you have to set the bandwidth and save before you can see.
Being channel -2 it's probably 5MHZ
the full SSID should be something like BAY-MESH-BRK-5-v3 which shows: the user defined portion (BAY-MESH-BRK). The channel bandwidth you need to set your node to (in my example 5MHz) and the RF protocol (currently we are on v3)
If you would share your location and node height i will run the possibility of a link @ 2ghz.
We have some really good LOS in to SF! from Evens Hall @ UCB were 2 solar powered NSM2 reside. Im hopping that this year, we can work some links into other Bay area Citys on dedicated links with the 5ghz band.
1) Let me know if any of you guys have line-of-sight to either of these two addresses:
1. 1437 38th Ave, SF (Basically Ocean Beach)
2. 2125 Mission, SF (Mission)
You should be able to see w6bb-Evans-1. Try setting your radio to ch -2 @ 10mHz and then do a Wi-Fi scan. There is a second node on the same Building, w6bb-Evans2. But, it is down at the moment and points somewhat north of your location.
Your Ocean Beach location uis blocked from Berkeley by Russian Hill and Nob Hill. My own node is blocked from you by Treasure Island.
There used to be a link between NB and the USS hornet.
If we could get some funding for newer hardware. There is talk of a San Diego to SF back bone. A 5ghz leg across around the BAY could be some cool shit.
We're on the same block as Noisebridge (which were also associated with). I've already submitted an experiment proposal for JIFX, drop me an email and I can get you more details: gba@undef.net
W2GMD - I think I have LOS on you. Do you have a link with Evans? If not I have a few places on my roof I can try if you can aim your node in that direction. I'm at Scenic Ave & Cedar St - 330' elevation with 35' mast.
It is set for a 10mHz bandwdth.

DO you want to have something together for the upcoming event? http://my.nps.edu/web/fx/rfi

KJ6DZB - how tall is Evans node?
