War Driving in Elk Creek

Our new war driving setup logs lat, lon and alt of the car as well as sampling 802.11 b/g radios for channel, encryption and signal strength. We gathered over 1MB of data on the Saturday afternoon cruise around Elk Creek.

The most exciting finds were along Big Ridge hitting radios as far away as Sylvatus, Galax and Neumann's Ridge (WVTF). The lower part of the bowl had frequent hits on radios at the Elk Creek Rescue Squad. Probing the valleys around Elk Creek was not encouraging.

While direct hits to WiredRoad Acess Points may be less than 10% of the residences, one hop (repeaters) should triple that number. It will take several trips through the idea to develop an infrastructure plan. Interested parties should use the Contact link on the left to assure inclusion of you area.
