WiFi Antenna building night@Hack Factory.

[David M. N. Bryan]

Just sending a reminder about the DC612 Antenna building night. This will be held on Thursday February 11, 2010 from 6pm-9pm. We will be building both Cantennas, and Bi-Quad antennas, and what ever else you fancy (potentially some HDTV antennas too)!

The event is free to all, but if you want to make a cantenna you will need to bring the following:
* Soup/Pineapple Juice/Pringles/Cookie Can that has been washed clean, with one open end.
* $5.00 for the Antenna connector that mounts to the antenna.

Please register for this event by Friday February 5th so I can order the appropriate number of connectors for the antennas (I will order a few extra). However people are welcome to stop by, but will need to supply their own connectors.

Who: DC612
What: Wireless Networking Antenna Building
Where: Hack Factory/TC Makers http://www.tcmaker.org/blog/hack-factory/
When: Thursday February 11, 2010 from 6pm-9pm.
Why: Because it's fun to pickup access points from 2 blocks away.
Registration: http://wifi-building.eventbrite.com/

We are planning to order Pizza so please bring some cash and if possible a donation for the Hack Factory.

Besure to also check out the TC Makers/Hack Factory Minne-Faire on Febuary 13, 2010 from 2pm-11pm.

Just a note that I built a cantenna a couple of years back and after
visiting this site (http://www.turnpoint.net/wireless/
cantennahowto.html) I went to Cub foods with a ruler and found that 3
large Del Monte fruit cans (one size up from the 15.25 oz cans)
connected together turned out to be about the perfect diameter and
length. I just took the top and bottom of two cans and the top off of
the third then fastened them together to create the cantenna.
