I've been a ham for almost 25 years. There used to be a fox hunting group that met at Grossmont College. I don't know if they still do. They typically DF VHF frequencies, and IIRC there used to be a low cost kit to build up an adcock array that would work on your car. I think it came from Ramsey Electronics now that I think about it. This whole thread reminded me of the time I bough a Palm Tx, that had wifi capabilities. I had installed a netstumbler like app, and brought it to Petco Park one night for a game. Sitting in nosebleed seats, I logged something like 300 APs, more than half unsecured too. Downtown is flooded with wireless. The antenna in the Palm was horrible, but it still managed to pick up quite a few. -- Mark Schoonover, CMDBA http://www.linkedin.com/in/markschoonover http://marksitblog.blogspot.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
