Thanks, Tom.  I'll keep that in mind for the next go-around.  Here is the MAC we were using during the test: 4C:5E:0C:31:C4:43

It was acting like we were making a connection to the Westin, based on the coordinates that were dialed in.  I really wasn't expecting anything from that direction.  However, it would be cool to verify if it truly was the Westin that we were passing traffic through.  The best RSSI we saw was right around 75.

It's pretty simple to see which sector you are connected to. Just issue this command:

/interface wireless monitor 0
                  status: connected-to-ess
                 channel: 5900/5/an
       wireless-protocol: nv2

                   bssid: E4:8D:8C:F1:6D:22
              radio-name: Gold-S2/K7WAN
         signal-strength: -57dBm
     signal-strength-ch0: -57dBm
      tx-signal-strength: -59dBm
  tx-signal-strength-ch0: -59dBm
  tx-signal-strength-ch1: -75dBm
             noise-floor: -120dBm
         signal-to-noise: 63dB
                  tx-ccq: 93%
                  rx-ccq: 93%
   authenticated-clients: 1
        current-distance: 10
                wds-link: no
                  bridge: no
        routeros-version: 6.41.3
                 last-ip: 169.48.173.167
       current-tx-powers: 6Mbps:31(25/31),9Mbps:31(25/31),12Mbps:31(25/31),18Mbps:31(25/31),24Mbps:31(25/31),36Mbps:29(23/29),48Mbps:29(23/29),54Mbps:27(21/27),HT20-0:29(23/29),HT20-1:29(23/29),HT20-2:29(23/29),
                          HT20-3:29(23/29),HT20-4:29(23/29),HT20-5:27(21/27),HT20-6:27(21/27),HT20-7:26(20/26)
     notify-external-fdb: no

You can see the radio name right there next to the signal strength.

If you can tell me your MAC, I can look you up in the logs to see what sector you connected to.
