4 of the houses I can get to all four sides so I did 2 readings per side.
Where I could only get to the front and back I did 3 readings per side.
If I could only get to one side of the house I did 3 readings again and
I also took a reading further away from the house to get some sense of
direction of the AP. I also took some random measurements further away
from the other houses for the same reason.
