Greetings Again,

I had one other concern about this type of set up and when looking at the Fresnel I'm curious if I should worry about getting an omni directional antenna with a down turn. With the Antenna being 75 feet in the air I was thinking I may create a Black hole here at the house and the wireless stuff will have problems in the immediate area if the antenna doesn't have a down turn on it to cover below the antenna with a bit of signal. Just thinking.

I know the practical fix for this in my situation, which is to slap a second wireless card in the Wave Lan AP and that would give me immediate coverage in the house with no problems. The outdoor omni antenna could feed from one and the immediate local stuff could feed from the other.

Thanks again to all for ideas suggestions and references. This is shaping up to be great fun.
Later
Joe
