Adding a yagi or a simple reflector will extend the range. You don't

Ve haff vays of making your signal better.

that looks worth a go Cheers! However - when I read the Googgly
translated version the bit about the wire lengths and spacings is
rather lost on me:-

"The building materials are usually around as well. First, there is at
least 15 cm long residual electrical installation cables with solid
copper conductors; braided wire not good enough now. Usual, 0.75 mm 2
cross section, diameter of just 1 mm corresponds to a. For this
thickness, the element lengths are in the following table:

Dimensions of the 2.4-GHz antenna
Length Distance
50 mm 122 mm
51 mm 88 mm
51,5 mm 57 mm
52 mm 31 mm
53 mm 9 mm
60 mm -25 Mm

But a little thicker lines a For wire with 1.5 mm 2 (diameter 1.4
mm), the elements 1 mm shorter turn out each for 2.5-mm 2-wire
(diameter 2 mm) 2 mm shorter . It does not necessarily have the soul
of a copper cable may be, any other highly conductive, stiff and solid
material is also: welding wire, long nails or threaded rods. However,
would be for the optimum gain the dimensions adapted to the material.
For a first attempt with unnecessary objects you have to make the
effort not."


so what's the table on about??
