I guess I'd better get out and re-drive my home town, it's been over a year and that was before I had kismet running.
Absolutely! Especially if you were not using Kismet the last time. Just Kismet will add 50 - 60% much less the growth over a year and after Christmas. I "try" to stumble our college campus areas and housing every 6 months to catch the new students coming in. Checking out the new coeds is a nice dividend too!

Our housing growth has been amazing. I took a drive yesterday out to an area that used to be just farm houses and wheat fields 25 miles out of town. I was surprised to find 3 square sections of farm land turned into housing editions. There's no town or infrastructure out there just wheat fields. It's like that all over the place around here. Most of them are houses in the 3,000 sq ft range or bigger. We can't figure out where all the money or people are coming from but it sure does help my WiGLE stats. None of them are on any mapping software or Google Earth. I just have to drive the section lines and keep good notes for return visits. I never know where I'll run into an area like that.
