#WigleFin
After finding the wardriver UK and Signal Sleuth (aka, all ESP32 and BW16 builds) severely lacking in senstivity (ie, they are stone deaf) I'm working with my CAD guy to revisit the #WigleFin. Looking at a bottom load option for a cleaner (more weather resistant) look.
Oh and a landscape option....

Just back from a 1am, 100 mile #wardrive.
Still tweaking the #SignalSleuth setup. Slowly getting the numbers up to beating the amazing Samsung S20 in a #WigleFin on the roof.
Lots of deer out and about on the roads tonight. #AllTheWiFI

Running your phone or wardrive rig _in_ the car is about the worst placement you can do. Granted, not all cars have window tint, but many come with clear, UV-blocking glass from the factory.
Putting the phone on the roof doubled. YES DOUBLED, my numbers.
Thus, the 'wigleFin' was born.

Took the #wifydra for a #wardrive to catch #allTheWifi
It went really really well. Its a beast at speed.
The S20 on the roof mounted #wiglefin is no slouch for 5Ghz. I think I have my kit dialed.
Finally broke into the top 500 club.

Did a 28 mile #wardrive to catch #allTheWifi just now.
Ran the #wifydra and the #wiglefin with the S20 in it. Pixel 8Pro in the car running the map.
Just uploading the data to @wiglenet now.
Still unclear which device is king of the SSID.
Uploading to @openstreetmap as well now.

3 x 150 lb pull magnets. As of tomorrow, it will be 4.
More details and photos incoming on my GitHub page, but the other key is the typical anti-slip kitchen draw lining on the bottom. Really helps them stick like.. yeah..
Inside the car is a faraday shield.
The red wiglefin is 82mph rated....
