So my idea of stacking truck containers sounds about right! ;-) So here's what we do. Make a corner reflector out of 4 containers, 2 high and at 90 deg. Then build a roof for the space out of a couple more containers. Site the whole lot on the side of a hill and illuminate it with a dish antenna 1-5km away. Anyone more or less between the antenna and the containers gets hit from both sides. They point their antennas at which ever has the best view. -- Julian Bond Email&MSM: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Webmaster: http://www.ecademy.com/ Personal WebLog: http://www.voidstar.com/ CV/Resume: http://www.voidstar.com/cv/ M: +44 (0)77 5907 2173 T: +44 (0)192 0412 433 -- general wireless list, a bawug thing <http://www.bawug.org/> [un]subscribe: http://lists.bawug.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless
