Was preoccupied with prep for my son's run of #grandmasMarathon and completely missed that June 18 was my *21st* anniversary on @WiGLEnet

Been doing the #wardrive since 2004. The rigs have come SO far in that time. The wireless tech has propagated to unimaginable density.

And I'm here to put #dotsOnMaps and capture #allTheWifi (and BlueTooth) that will show it's face :)

Thanks to @ArkFromWiGLE
and @bobzilla
and #uhtu AND the Community for keeping this hobby going!

Will trek for #wifi

The Old Man of Stoor didn’t yield many new APs but the hike in the rain was SO worth it.

Holy @WiGLEnet Batman!

#toothpaste takes the 3rd spot with 12.77 MILLION APs. Amazing collection of #allTheWifi !!

#wardrive #dotsOnMaps

And we’re at #66 on the @wiglenet big board! An addition of nearly 43,000 APs from my kid traveling with the #stumbleBee made for a big gain and a strong close to the month.

Onward to 2 Million!

What I love about @wiglenet is that the center of this capture is the @MNRenaissance - a festival village in the middle of the Louisville Swamp and a sand pit.

Yet me and other folks #wardrive it and put #dotsOnMaps. And lo, there be DOTS!

#allTheWiFi #wardrive

It’s my @WiGLEnet #nerdAversary! 20 years since my first upload!

I got myself another 3,400 APs in a drive with all the tools. My wife and the dog tagged along for this momentous occasion.

Love the community, the makers, the coders, all the awesome folks out there putting #dotsOnMaps

Tips for #wardrive success

H/T to @lozaning for this one

If you put your devices on the dashboard in the car, run your A/C on the DEFROST setting to get cool air up where the rigs are!

Heat slows devices down, warps cases, and is bad for batteries. Cool breezes for the win!

Tips for #wardrive success

Multiple @wiglenet #wigleWifi devices but no SIM cards? Connect them to your active phone Hotspot while you drive. You’ll get map updates & backup GPS location while you drive!

Data consumption is minimal and the ability to use Follow Me on the map display is super valuable to full coverage!

Milestone achieved - 6,000,000 files processed on @WiGLEnet was passed sometime early this morning

Kudos to all the Wiglers, both big and small, that feed the beast! And to the crew behind the scenes keeping it all running for us!

My son ran a 15K race in 1:00:02 this morning. Third place overall. VERY PROUD!

Trying to do my part, I got over 15,000 new BlueTooths points on ONE of four rigs running during the spectating. Just trying to find #allTheWifi on Boom Island! And managed to walk 4.5 miles in the process.

First shot - @jhewitt rev 5G
Second shot - Pixel 6 with @WiGLEnet
