* Technical

Lets try to do 802.11b also, just in case the 802.11a stuff doesn't work out
Power sources are questionable, need generators and UPS probably
Need tested, pre-configured software and hardware
- Configure routers with routes and IPs
- Configure radio cards with proper channel assignments
- Test end-to-end connectivity up close
Network diagrams
- Just some well documented diagrams so we know what the heck we're doing
Communication between the two sites
- amateur
  - Free
  - CaseyHalverson has a radio for the Washingtion side
- cellular
  - International calls need to be made, can be expensive
  - Need a list of phone numbers in case of lost radio contact

* Logistic

Unavailibility among SWN people during this holiday (maybe another weekend in July)
SWN and PTP people should plan to stay the night in this area
