Stock/unmodified, with commercially made omnidirectional wi-fi antenna 2. Stock/unmodified, with commercially made directional wi-fi antenna 3. Homemade omnidirectional antenna 4. Homemade directional antenna 5. Enhanced power, (omni or directional) commercially made 6. Enhanced power, (omni or directional) homemade those homemade recipes would most likely spark some more interest into it ... pretty interesting to see 5 contestants so far + 2 of which are commercially based entries, some probably would not enter simply because of the rule "Winners agree to openly disclose the technology used to achieve connect distances." :-) - jon pgp key: http://www.jonbaer.net/jonbaer.asc fingerprint: F438 A47E C45E 8B27 F68C 1F9B 41DB DB8B 9A0C AF47 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Hallen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, July 05, 2003 12:18 AM Subject: [nycwireless] PC Card Modding > Hi, > > I've brought up card modifying ("modding") before, it's gets the odd > mention, but to few responses. > > Perhaps it's a touchy subject considering the FCC's take on it, perhaps it's > that some go too far.
