Also:  Is the area flat, with a good view to the south of the
geostationary satellites carrying the WAAS signals?

Last I recall (my info might be dated), the WAAS signals were sent
from satellites over the equator, not from the GPS satellites
themselves.  If you have any blockage to the south, say bye-bye to
your WAAS corrections.
