Instead I just kept my eye's open and picked up a lightly used 100mw one for cheap (>$100). Hell, Fab-Corp has a 1 watt on thier front page right now for >$300.

I think you'll find that $300 is worth paying to avoid the wasted time/energy/equipment/sperm in home brewing your own
I know when talking about the normal power output of 802.11b/g equipment it is in the x00 mW range, is 1 Watt safe to operate at?
I never realized that the tolerance is so tight. Althought it would be fun, I must heed all of your advice.
<b>Thank you</b> for the explanation,
