He could have built a cantenna for about $10. Which is no bigger than two dog food tins end to end. And poked it out the window on the end of a stick when he wanted to link up.

279603 2004-10-15 11:34:00 I went to a scrap metal yard with my N Connector and tried a few bits of scrap copper wire, not sure if it the right gauge as I had to file the end just a little to jam it in the hole. But it works just fine. As long as it isnt to long(ie. dosent go over the half way) you cant go wrong. Rob99 (151)
