Thank you, nice patrol strategy.
Until now I never thinked about "sqare box" patrol legs... I had always used "triangle" (or zig-zag) legs... I will try this strategy.

Yeah, I know what you mean but I bet it is more tedious and frustrating to run around at random and still not picking up any contacts at all. For me it's always better to try and maximize my chances to hear/spot them even if in the end I do not found anything.
