Re: Owner Wireless Antenna Pictures
Basically what you would consider a "cantenna" they actually work quite well..
»www.turnpoint.net/wireless/cante···wto.html
is a site that details the making, and fine tuning prodecures to make sure you capture the signal you want and places to get parts to make them.

| Im sure it really works that simply. The modem is already tuned to the frequency it wants to pick up. All the pie tin does is serve as a reflector to collect extra signal.
Just like a soup or coffee can with the correct parts can provide just as big of a gain. May seem funny- but thats just the simplicity of an antenna.

OI wonder how he keeps the water out of the can? I didn't see any drain holes for it. Unless he uses a plastic cover like. I have two of these I might give it a try.
