Got the ORiNOCO Gold running with NS v0.3, tied my Garmin 195 in to the laptop with a serial cable, taped the Lucent Range Extender to my roof rack, and took a spin from around Tatum & Shea up towards Scottsdale Airpark. Got 18 in a 10 min. drive, 5 have WEP on. Haven't done downtown yet, but I bet it is packed.

Building two directional helix antennas with the goal of connecting from the top of Camelback to my house (~10km). Also will be great to hit APs from a (long) distance. Haven't yet done Pringle's cans yet though.

Any others have some honey spots in the Valley?
