Antenna on the Cheap (er, Chip)

I’d heard rumors of the famous Pringles can antenna for 802.11b wireless; now a friend has send me a blink to the details. For less than $15, you can build a pair of these that ought to carry an 11 Mbps link “well over ten miles”, according to the geeks from the O’Reilly Network. [thanks, Abby]

For those of you wondering about the new look at FmH, it’s a mistake! My template got corrupted and Blogger is not letting me save a corrected version over the corrupted one. However, Blogger does let me choose one of its different, pre-canned templates instead. So this is temporary, until I can, with repeated attempts, succeed in saving my corrected template… Bear with me, all will be well again, I know….
