[MLB-WIRELESS] Antenna design idea, probably not new.

24dBi connifer one)

eA  (14dBi Pacific Monolith and the 24dBo connifer)

We've found the Connifer antennas (the ones with the 2nd metal collectors on
the end of the dipole) are easier to modify.

The Pac Sats while they still work are a bit more hassle to get apart, we've
also had issues with cable twisting inside the dipole housing and cause it
is so rigid, this lifts the tracks straight off the PCB rendering the entire
unit useless.

I higly suggest securing the cable (with either dish you use) very well so
the above doesn't happen to you.

    They are very common around the northern suburbs.
    it's simply a case of knocking on the door and asking for them for
nothing for $10 or so.
    I've spotted about 10 just driving between my word and the eastern
freeway and that along major roads.  One weekend i'll come out with a ladder
and see what I can get
