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

Having just built a yagi with brass and aluminium, something like this would
be great. My antenna works, and was reasonably cheap to build but it took
about 6 hours and a lot of very careful measuring with vernier calipers.
My conclusion and the end of the process was that the ex-galaxy dishes have
probably the best price to performance ratio of any wlan antenna.
