It needs to replicate something that tastes like ice cream but has the
nutritional value of salad.

Listened to a Freakonomics podcast this morning (about moving toward a
"cashless society"). Part of it they talked about the 24th century
where you could get anything you wanted out of the replicator.
I want plain tomato soup, hot.

When I was building slotted waveguide antennas for our network, we
needed a way to seal up the slots so the rain wouldn't fill the
antennas faster than a weep hole could drain it. I found that 3M
made some heat shrink tubing that just fit over the size of tubing I
was using. After heat shrinking the stick, we would dip the ends in
"plastidip". Never had a leak. I wonder if you just needed to hand
make a couple dipole or patch array antennas, if dipping them in
plastidip wouldn't be a decent option. Obviously it would be labor
and time intensive for production, but for a couple one-offs, why
not?

Yup. They have an array of metal circles on a board connected to
each other by traces.
What about a cheaper external antenna? The price to beat is $120.

Yeah, that will be an array of patches inside. Hard to couple to
with any efficiency.

Like a 45 slant 15dbi panel.

I want to narrow the radiation pattern on Wimax CPE in order to
reduce interference. Higher gain is a bonus, but mostly I want
to tune out interference from other base stations and thereby
improve CINR.
Right now all I've got is I can put an external antenna on with
coax jumpers. A dish with a significantly narrower pattern than
the integrated panel is $120-$140 from KP Performance, plus the
cost of the coax jumpers and the labor to seal them.
I'm really missing the Canopy stingers and reflectors right now.
If I could slip something on for $50 I'd be all over it like
white on rice. I'd also just settle for a cheaper external
antenna.
Any brilliant ideas?
