Brian,

There are lots of ways to use various network adaptors that take external antennas with some legal and some not.

My idea is this is another way one can DX for unsecure wireless networks. If you have 5 in your neighborhood I bet you get 25 with some of the high gain high power systems out there but then again..whats legal and whats not?
