[TheForge] Wireless internet connection - OT from blacksmithing

[Steve Smith]

I went to school with a guy that was interested in antennas. We had 
horrible TV reception in Cambridge, Mass. due to the Hancock building 
creating a nice time delayed reflection of the broadcast TV signal. It 
seems like every week there would be a different cardboard, wire and 
aluminum foil antenna attached to the TV. He was trying to reject the 
delayed signal--it did get much better.
