[NBLUG/talk] Two TV - satelite dishes to give away, or swap for something ...

[Walter Hansen]

I remember in my readings that at least one network of 50 miles was 
established in the bay area with such dishes. All you need is a clear 
line of sight. A USB wifi device and a pot sticker basket will get you a 
simple directional device with a very good range though. Lots better 
than the pringles can. Good for locating networks and such.
