We have a couple of WAP 11's over here in Abbeville...... we played around with them and on the tests got 300' from an indoor location to an outdoor location. When it came down to the day of the event, we were lucky for 30' line of sight.
We have learned alot since then and have been looking at alternate designs including (pringles can project, high gain omni's, and recycled Primestar dishes). However, we have too many trees and too few tall buildings to really test it out down here. I build a omni and w/o a accurate way to test it, all I can say is that it does a bit better than the factory antennas. There are also other ways (amps, etc) but most involve FCC issues and $$$$.......... we are looking for the most bang for the buck here. We are currently looking at maps and sat photos for a 1/2 mile hop here in town.
