Hi to all, First thing you need to know is that if you looking for a site. Go in & present the system as an emergency communications system. Many of us are affiliated with the Red Cross aren't you? If you are not do so. The Red Cross system has had a very easy time to locate on prime sites. Also you may look at becoming a 501C3 not for profit stat ice. When you do that the site owner can completely Wright off the donation & to boot it's to a not for profit donation. They can really use this at tax time.
