[MLB-WIRELESS] MW event day?

[rick]

becouse thats how they did it in nzwireless you dont want to make it 2 hard
it defeats the point, and in any melways square it could be on any of thoue
houses, i dont mean sticking 8db antennas onit, just stock minitars, people
still have to FINd the next ap

this wouldnt be a fox hunt in the ham sence, its just a kind of a treasure
hunt event, and even still you could use the melways refrence as a
approximent ie that square or the 8 around it,

I also think this sounds like fun.  But why make it easy by putting the
Melways coordinates as the SSID?

I probably wouldn't participate, but I'll help out with loans of gear,
and putting foxhunt-specific content on NodeGMR's web page
