 	How 'bout a call to action with localized WiFi action? Is anyone 
still interested in linking up via WiFi? I know we've all talked about 
this off and on over the years.

 	I own hilltop property now, and have quite a view from top of the 
SoSide slopes. I do have some power issues to resolve, but I think I can 
provide a hopping point at the very least.

 	Most of my research into antennas has been for HDTV, but lots of 
the articles I come across is specific to WiFi.

 	Anyone that is interested, please send me a private message, and 
we'll aggregate. I kinda don't want to hijack the WPLUG list. I do want to 
finish what I (have tried to get) started, but it is going to require help 
from other interested folks. Perhaps some posted flyers on the campuses 
would help.
