Sending the general query out for anyone interested in AREDN who's in the Ann Arbor, MI area (Washtenaw County, SE Michigan, EN82).
I don't have any gear yet, and there's lots of trees here in Tree Town to provide obstacles, but I'm quite interested in getting a network up that would support our local Skywarn efforts.

As food for thought, I used UBNT AirLink to put a 5Ghz AREDN node at 400 ft on the N8DUY repeater tower west of Ann Arbor and this is what I came up with. I was able to get max throughput with 10 Mhz Channels. Also, I put the reference Node height at about 40 ft.
I wonder If we could talk to KC8NIY, WD8MWD, and N8DUY about the possibility of putting a node on that tower.
