Hi all, I'm also in the SF Bay Area. I've been by the billboard several times,
but maybe since there's so much construction, the sensors aren't picking me up? (freeway drive-by, and approaching sign on foot.) Let us know if
anyone else spots any personalized SF messges! I wonder where the sensors are.

I took the circuit out of the box, and it plays when shining bright light on it.

Got mine today! I'm currently on jury duty at the Hall of Justice near the SF sign, I think I'll walk over there during my lunch break.

If anyone is home I call to see if the mail has arrived.
When I arrive home first thing I do, go straight to the mailbox.
Still no fob

I footed over to Stillman street today (immediate street right below sign) and the sensors couldn't pick me up either. I haven't driven on the freeway yet - no reason for me to travel to Oakland. Has anyone from the SF Bay Area had any success?

I have not heard that it's working for anyone in SF. Maybe we can try to
contact the advertising firm in Sausalito that programmed these
billboards? If anyone learns anything, please let us know:

Butler Shine Stern & Partners 415 - 331-6049 info@bssp.com

Geez. I don't want to drive all the way out to SF just for the
billboard and it doesn't work.
I think I'll wait until I hear
that it worked for someone else first...
