[NCARC] 2.4GHz WAN from Pringles CAN

Mon, 24 Feb 2003 19:44:33 -0700 (MST)

  Michael, (and others that may be interested)

  I have played with this somewhat. Not with a pringles
  can but with old DirecTV DSS 18 offset fed dishes
  and 1 1meter offset dish.  I got it working to a distance
  of about 15 miles with no amps or preamps.  

 All the dishes used helical feeds I scratch built from PVC pipe,
 romex electrical wire innards and old hard drive platters.
 (Several experimental antennas I built for Oscar 40 satellite
  reception at 2401 mhz) 

  If you'd like more info, I can share some experiances and
  do's and don'ts that I have learned from it.  

  Write me off the list and I will send more info.  If others
  are interested we can move back to the list, but I prefer 
  not to clog up mailboxes with lots of stuff people don't care
  about 8-)  (must come from being a sys admin....)
