    Subject: SETI public: horn wins wifi contest

    Those of us at the 2003 SETICon got to see the SETI
    "Horn of Plenty"
    (http://www.setileague.org/articles/horn.htm), based
    on a classic antenna design. This was my first
    exposure to this type of antenna, so I was fascinated
    by its simplicity, figuring it was some kind of waste
    disposal device when I first saw it.

    Slashdot had an article today that caught my eye. The
    distance winner of the DefCon wi-fi shootout, after
    numerous commercial and private entries? A $98 horn
    style antenna which was used to transmit a text
    message over 802.11b at a distance of over 35 miles
    (http://home.earthlink.net/~wifi-shootout/).

    cheers,
    Pete
