madder than a box of badgers, pretty funny, surprisingly effective and exceedingly geeky.

wifi antenna's made from woks and all sorts of weird stuff.

a chinese cooking vat scoop, and a $10 usb wifi dongle = 10km LOS!

madness.

ahhh, good old WiFry!

hmm how difficult would it be to use a parabolic dish to capture a mobile phone signal, and repeat it over a site.

I know somebody who is in a rural area, and there is really only one part of the property that they have mobile reception.

there might even be a cheaper way to do it, but it's a good place to start to find out what you might need to do it on the cheap.

where there's a will and all that!

Sure it's possible to make a good omni-directional antenna out of large paperclips! And I don't mean theoretically - it's been done in Ireland! The antennas you buy in shops are unbelievably overprices considering what's inside them....
