ASCIICHALKING

this from Wolf, rendered in ascii, but some good ideas for inclusion by someone with a graphics package!


    "Hello again,

    I don't have drawing tools, so here goes, using good ole text (done on my iBook using Mail) The "arrows" '>' indicate directionality (my understanding of the term being moving an
    antenna to get a better signal).

    Sorry for the multiple messages, but I'm suffering insomnia, and I'm quite taken by this concept of warchalking. 

    Kudos!
