Re: [ATM] Extending a wifi network

That's why you use the very best coax you can afford. And even if you loose
2 or 3db it's not going to prevent something like a yagi or backfire from
making it. After all he's just making it with a 7db omni, stick something
more directional on it, and then stick a fork in it; you're done
(metaphorically speaking of course). If you want more; stick another one
(yagi or backfire) the observatory and you'll have full throughput both
ways.
I prefer the backfire for this use because the side lobes aren't as broad.

Loss from added coax  cable and associated coax connectors could reduce the
advantage gained from use of a directional high gain antenna.  see Friis'
Formula. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friis'_formula
