You would have at least 7 dB loss at 2.4 G and 13 dB at 5 G, too much. Why not do this, Get some cheap fiber 100TX transceivers and have a custom long cable made (I have done all this for less then $300 before). Mount the AP in a weather proof box. http://www.hyperlinktech.com/ has wireless supplies. In this way you can draw power from the scoreboard and the fiber will give you lightning isolation for your network. Raymond's solution is good also. It really depends on the coverage you need.

Expensive, and one for each Band. (One for A, one for B/G) I'm guessing much better than LMR 600 we used for our 50ft runs. > We would like to mount the ap inside of the building and then > just extend the external antenna to the scoreboard. > Why not run an outdoor rated Cat 5 cable up the pipe, and mount an outdoor Access point at the antenna site. Several companys make these units. Depending on how big the complex is, you could even look into Mesh Units, (this would be your base station) and then put a repeater unit out at the pressbox (You need power and line of sight) of each of the field you want to cover. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/.
