[NLRS] WTB 2304 Antenna

Mel -

There are a lot of WiFi commercial antennas that may work .... check out the 24 dBi grid dish at this link for $45 (with feed).   http://compare.ebay.com/like/270704474564?var=lv&ltyp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar  . I wonder if the feed can handle power?  Spec's are not real clear, but perhaps further research will show you.  I use something like this on 5760, scaled down of course.   Nice thing is it comes with a feed .... ready to use.  A commercially made loop yagi of about the same gain (Directive Systems) will cost about 3 to 4x, but then it may be easier to mount and handle as a rover compared to the grid dish - ymmv.   I use a Directive system loop yagi, and I think W9FZ/R has gravitated to one also after having used a dish in the past.  If you google for "Homemade WiFi dishes", you probably will get lots of hits too !   The Aurora antenna range next Spring would be a good place to check it out.
