Homemade 802.11 Antennas

Has anyone here had any experience with antennas to extend / broadcast 802.11b signals?

Anyone ever bootleg off the neighbors unsecured wireless network?

Anyone of these will help with signalWireless Antennas

My wireless network detector says it has detected 4 different wireless network in range two secured and two unsecured. I guess I could connect to the unsecured networks if I wanted to but its not my thing and I have no need to.

The 2.4 ghz band is also the 13 cm Ham band and Amatuers are the primary service which means it is open season for 802.11 signal hunting.

I found this link dealing with 802.11 transmitting.

There's this new "thing" called 'WARCHALKING'

New way to call your "Good Buddy"

I'm thinking of broadcasting to my other "Station" with 802.11b and directional antennas.

Can it get any easier or cheaper than this?

wardriving is not illegal. connecting to the wireless acsess point without permission is. wardriving is just searching for wifi points not connecting.
