The forecast called for wet weather, so April and I needed a hiding place
that wouldn't require setting up a beam and rolling out coax in the rain.
I
found it at the end of Meadowridge Street in east Anaheim. We were
shielded from
the start point and had a great shot to the northeast through an apartment
complex and across the freeway. With any luck, the signal would bounce off
the
Chino Hills and divert the hunters to the north side of the
freeway.
It only took 50 milliwatts and a 4-element quad to do the bounce, but the
hunters have become too clever to be outsmarted for long. Except for a few
blocks of extra mileage around Savi Ranch and the apartments, everyone
figured out
the trick and found us before the late-night teenagers had taken all the
tables at Denney's.
