[Noisebridge-discuss] Solar-power radios popping up around the Mission

[miloh]

Look at the ground where the parking spaces are.  Each space has a circular
metal plate with two mm size holes, embedded in the asphalt.

One night at 1am, Mike and I saw 3 guys casually sticking probes through the
holes and taking readings on a handheld meter.

It's part of the system.

I've been seeing a lot of contraptions such as these

the Mission. That photo is not a very representative one -- most seem
to have a much smaller isotropic-looking radiator in a PVC tube
hanging under the panel.

I suspect these are for the newer parking meters that have been
getting installed. Some are taking credit cards now, and I can only
assume they're doing authorization over wireless.

Does anyone else know what these are for? I'm curious.

Cheers,
