John, I'll give you a tip. I just made two for my wap11 and they work (not as well as i thought, but could be builder error) but they work!
http://osiris.urbanna.net/antenna_designs/projects/template2/ If you dig enough on his site, you find his perfected template. This is the one I used I printed the templates and covered the square part with aluminum foil. Here are the parts list 1. the 2 templates 2. cardstock 3. aluminum foil 4. tape 5. knife with a point (to cut the slits in the square part) 6. scissors Thats about it. Here is a picture of someone elses attempt at the perfected design. http://osiris.urbanna.net/antenna_designs/projects/template/gallery/ameritech1.jpg It's not hard to build at all. Have fun! Adam J.

I'm thinking that styrofoam packing blocks would be easier to acquire than balsa wood. They could be shaped with a hot knife or similar. I've been having problems with getting a good signal in the backyard with my Zaurus, but this may fix that. Thanks! Don't ask why I need a good wireless connection in my backyard for my PDA. I just do. John Hebert -----Original Message----- From: Adam J.

(I was one of them) The more I read about this, the more it looks like it does work. I just might have to try this out on my SMC at home and my WAP11s at work. ;) http://osiris.urbanna.net/antenna_designs/projects/template/ Here is a thread about the design http://www.broadbandreports.com/forum/remark,5605782~root=wlan~mode=flat ;start=0 Enjoy!
