Home-Brew Antennae
Omnidirectional Antennae
It is possible to make a homebrew omnidirectional antenna, as shown in the guides listed on Links#Antennae.
Directional Antennae
Cantenna
The instructions shown the websites listed on Links#Antennae were used ti build some cantennae as shown in the pictures:
