[olug] Homebrew wireless

[Neal Rauhauser]

 The only reason to buy something like a Cantenna is if it comes with a 
good length of patch cable. Usually antennas just have enough feedline 
to reach the feed cable, amp, etc, and give you room to refinish the end 
if you screw it up.

 I have some of these and they've given me no grief:
