You could wrap it around a hot dog, or just make a loop and it would probably work just as well. It might even work better without the cell phone, a high power radio transmitter near a receiving antenna causes the receiver to "block". My cell phone (1 watt on 900mHz and 2 watts on 1800mHz) is strong enough. The salad bowl is a neat trick, and it would help. Even better would be to use a USB WiFi dongle and suspend it in the middle of a foil lined salad bowl. Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.

Grumble. That was my idea, first. See: http://802.11junk.com/jeffl/antennas/Salad-Dish/index.html http://groups.google.com/group/alt.internet.wireless/browse_frm/thread/61088cfb1efa861/ I only mentioned it because he suggested to use it to make his ethernet wire coiled around a cell phone antenna work better. It was IMHO a better idea to use an actual transciever instead of a passive antenna that works via leakage. The salad bowl is optically reflective, so installing a point light source at the focus will display the approximate radiation pattern on the wall. At best, I get an annular ring with about a 15 degree spread, which is far from perfect, but functional. Sorry, but I have to give back by pile of borrowed test equipment before I could make a gain measurement. It's a moot point for me, I'm limited to 100mw EIRP for WiFI and terrestrial ham links.

I looked at a few of them to see if anything was going to explode, but they all seem perfectly harmless. http://www.youtube.com/profile_video...esolutions&p=r I prefer http://northernmichigansolar.com/ for electrical wisdom. I'm not sure i understand the point of sites like these. -- Clarence A Dold - Hidden Valley Lake, CA, USA GPS: 38.8,-122.5 |

He is going to need to put the cell phone over to the side of the bowl so when he puts the bowl on his head the phone will be next to his ear (the new alien signals he is picking up may be weaker and harder to hear). |

How to Increase Your Wi-Fi Signal
I use an old WOK as a parabolic and cut out for the dongle in the
center......it is very directional and it works..... "Si Ballenger" wrote in message ...
