Black Mountain and Mount Allison (SF Bay Area) wifi

I found a site survey mode in my BB 8320 that works somewhat similar
to netstumber. I sniffed this site from Mission Peak, about 20 miles
away.

I assume these are point to point systems with very directional
antennas, and not necessarily related.

The BB 8320 also has a tone beeper mode that changes the repetition
rate of the tone relative to the signal strength, to aid in finding
the transmitter.

00-02-2D used to be Agere Systems(Netherlands) but Proxim bought
out the wireless LAN business several years ago.

Mount Allison does seem to have a nice collection of Antennas:-

Thanks for the video link. I met the late Loren McQueen (Mack) a few
times.
