This is the antenna: http://www.lanbowan.com/ANT915D12C-DP.htm

The antennas themselves are pretty cheap - they charged me $41.61/each, but
shipping was quite expensive (they sent them DHL - there are obviously
cheaper ways). I suspect that if you ordered a large enough quantity to get
a decent shipping rate, even after adding jumper cables, it would still be
a bit cheaper than the Cambium yagis.

I did do a little testing with V/H... but it was kind of inconclusive, the
signal level was only slightly weaker, but when I ran a link test, it was
much worse - about 45m down vs 90m, I tried holding the Cambium yagi at a
45 degree angle and it was pretty similar results - 70m vs 90m and slightly
weaker signal. I'm not sure if that was anything to do with the polarity
being mismatched, or if it was just that H/V doesn't work as well as slant
at that particular location... also, I was just holding thing antennas for
the H/V tests and they were mounted at +/-45, so that could account for
some of it too.
