Last I heard the antenna on Mt. San Bruno is an 8dbi omni, vertically mounted and therefore vertically polarized.
A good polarization exercise, which works well with most off the shelf AP's & PC-Card NICs, is to orient one of the APs rubber-ducky antenna vertically and the other horizontally. PC Card antennas are almost always horizontally polarized (they lie flat) so you may notice improved signal strength.

I found out from experimenting that cantennas are polarized. The BARWN
antenna is probably polarized, too. That will cause signal strength to
rise and fall as you rotate the antenna. The effect *is* very significant.
