Patrick / Chuck: Although I'm meandering off-topic, there are several DIY WiFi antenna projects out there (parabolic, pringles can and so on). Some can get WiFi signals several miles away.
Here a few sample sites: http://www.turnpoint.net/wireless/has.html http://www.flickr.com/photos/alx/2703221693/ http://www.instructables.com/id/DIY-WIFI-Antenna-Reception-Booster/ I also DX FM and TV and I have seen a Youtube video of a guy who made a 4 bay bowtie UHF antenna out of wire coat hangers, a coax connector and 2X4's. It made his DTV reception better than those Philips amplified rabbit ears. 73, Dave in Indy ------------------------------ Message: 8 Date: Sat, 1 Nov 2008 07:00:46 -0700 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Patrick Martin) Subject: Re: [IRCA] Grayland Motel Room 15 Booked-WiFi To: [email protected] (Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America) Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: Text/Plain; Charset=US-ASCII Chuck, I am getting an open Wi fi connection in rural Clatsop County. A friend discovered it. It sure beats 28.8 dial up. Where the Wi Fi is coming from, I have no clue, but It is there and it is nice. I will try to beef up the signal a bit if possible. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin KGED QSL Manager _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: [email protected]
