Hi Tom

Isnt 30 inches a little too long for a colinear at 2.4 GHz? I'd guess
that the antenna that Peter has hooked up is a marine radio whip. I'll
be interested in reading more about what he is doing, and where the 30
inch long antenna came from.

Well, he did specifically state WiFi, so I went with that.

And a colinear can be as long as you'd like, they just don't keep gaining
gain very well after a certain point.

I must be out of touch with the current technology. I thought a 6
wavelength long colinear was too long for practical reasons. It seems that
beam squint with frequency change would rule out a 6 wavelength long
colinear.
