Maybe in the summer we'll have to occupy the nearby oval? :-)  And you're
right.  A 50 ohm resistor gives excellent VSWR figures.  Guess how well it
radiates...  Actually, quite well in the infra-red region (but bugger all on
2.4 GHz). ;-)

On a similar note.  Anyone know of any good, cheap mobile WiFi antennas
going?
