That should look really impressive spinning round and round on the
roof of your vehicle. I presume you have a sun roof or drilled a big
hole in the roof for the required pole?

I do have some questions: Why would you want to see signals 3 miles
away? The GPS locations will be terribly inaccurate. Have you added
direction indication to Netstumbler? You probably would not be able
to connect to such distant access points due to the unsteady nature of
the rotating antenna mounting. Wouldn't it be easier to just drive 3
miles and locate the access point exactly? I always use a relatively
low gain antenna on my vehicle for war driving so that the locations
will be accurate. I see several vendors offering maximum gain
antennas allegedly for war driving. What am I missing or is thing
being used for something other than war driving?

You can stretch heavy foil across the dish, replace the
feed horn with a small speaker, drive out to the park
and play Beevis & Butthead quotes to people way far away.

LOL, i don't mind being told that I am clueless, if you can make me
laugh, too. What about wartelecomuting? Like, get on top of a tall
building and point it around, and see what you can find. Well, I guess
is was not a very good subject line.

I read this as Wartle Comuting, and was struggling to work out if it
was a mishearing of something, or some new form of maths....
