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.
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.

Could you ask your neighbor?

Ahh damn, yeah, the only pines we get here are hand-planted… good info though, thank you!
