The main reason I posted was to save other readers from doing what I had to do--go back and read the original article. Yes, I was frustrated by wasting that time, and it was reflected in my post.

While I appreciate the fact that Your time is valuable, all of us here make mistakes?, And I thought I would point that out:)

I too am pushed for time, as are other readers of these forums. That's why it's important to make accurate posts so that some greater number of readers aren't confused or forced to again read the original article.
When you think you are pointing out someone else's mistake, as viperm was, it's that much more important to take extra effort to see that you are correct and you aren't wasting other folk's time.

OK Jesus, I am sure that You have never made a mistake?:D
A lot of us are pushed for time?. I am one such person. Perhaps the person in question just skimmed the article and missed the "AMP" part?
Why don't we crucify him?;)

This article says they DID use amplification???
Ben Corrado, Andy Meng, Justin Rigling and a fourth friend, Brandon Schamer (who didn't accompany them from Ohio), won the greatest distance achieved for an 802.11b network. The teens, two of them 18 years old and the other 19 years old, achieved 55.1 miles using homebrewed antennas on both ends along with amplification, exceeding last year's winner by 20 miles.
Read the next sentence, for crying out loud:
quote:
Then, when they established that record, they turned off their amplifiers and broke the record for an unamplified connection at the same distance.
