An easy option here would be to place a single, 120° antenna which could cover the entire of 280 corridor and San Francisco's south side. Connecting this site to the rest of the mesh is trickier. It cannot see [[San Bruno Mountain|Building 7]] (the obvious connection point) but a dish pointing at [[Wolfback]], [[4CCCC|CCCC]] or [[ORCA]] might work.
