Q:I'm trying to build high-gain yagi/directional antenna. I've looked at a lot of plans (including pringles), but I'm not certain of what to build. What would you experienced stumblers recommend?

Member gerlag also recommends building a circular polarized antenna. Such antennas have high gain and are less sentitive to reflections from buildings etc. Thus reduces delay spread, the link error rate will be better.
