I've been out of action for awhile now with a broken pigtail (the doctor says it's hopeless!). Anyway, if you get one of those Orinoco to N pigtails from Fab Corb...and it breaks...contact them immediately and they'll replace it. Apparently they had a bad batch of those awhile ago. Mine broke within two days, but I was still able to tape it to my Avaya Silver and it worked fine. However, down the road, it got more and more worn until the pin in the middle just fell out.
So don't do like I did and think "oh, it still works, I'll won't bother with the hassle of getting it replaced"...GET IT REPLACED IMMEDIATELY.
ANYWAY...yeah, there are 1000s of APs in the Huntsville/Madison area. With the exception of the stuff around Tuscaloosa, on the WiGLE map, almost all of that is from my drives around the northern part of the state. One Saturday, I made a trip down 231 to Bham and then back up 31 thru Decatur and back home across 565 and scored most of the stuff of those roads. I'd also made trips to Florida; Brownsville, Chattanooga & Nashville, TN; and and to the Grand Canyon and back, which accounts for a lot the other little trails of APs between those areas.
I'm hoping to get back thru the Florence/Shoals/Sheffield area once I get a new pigtail as I recently got into a genealogy kick and found that some great, great, greats are buried in Florence.
I built a pringles can, but I prefer the 5dbi magmount. The pringles is just too conspicuous for normal driving around.
