1st project is to find PCI based cards at a price that won't make me wince. $150 was a bit steep. BR 2nd project is to adapt telescope pointing technology to have a directional antenna in my attic scan for connections.BR 3rd project is to have antenna maintain a link with the best signal found. BR 4th project is to help others do the same.
