Their location is on the SE facing edge of Orcas, too close to Mt. Constitution and blocked by trees for ptmp links. Much better ptp link view from there to Anacortes and towers on hilltops in Skagit county. If you were to stand on top of their water tank I bet $5 you will not see the Mt. Constitution tower sites due to the shape of the terrain, despite 90+ meter towers on the summit.
Looks like they are doing very short distance ptmp in their 5x5 km square area of orcas, as the photos of shielded ubnt sectors on trees illustrate.
