I used D-Link DWL-AG520 PCI bus card.

Agreed, soldering could be better but I was aiming at electrical connection not on a museum piece.

I though BNC stands for "bayonet" and TNC stands for "thread" connector, and TNC is widely used for 50 cable and wifi applications.

I used following method to estimate the performance:
I have 11 elements gamma match tuned yagi with tested 14 db gain and it showed a green bar at approx 28~30 mark with netstumbler.

When I attached seven element colinear the signal was approximately at 22~24 mark at the same location. If I disconnect antenna and cove the pigtail with the palm of my hand the signal would drop to 1~2 mark on the same screen.

That is all and thank you for an opinion.
