[NTLUG:Discuss] wireless network

[Victor Brilon]

I am actually almost done building an antenna based on 1/4 wavelength 
and have had some good results with it. Email me offlist if you're 
interested in more details. I plan to put up a web page with all the 
specifics when the project is 100% done.

In the meantime check out these links which I found very helpful in 
understanding all the details of how 2.4Ghz antennas work:
