Yes I would like an email address so I can see what you are talking
about.

I have the cable connector which connects to the main cable from the
proxim card fine. I am picking up the 20 foot cable and want an antenna
that will minimize loss of the signal. I tried an existing omni antenna
that is aboout 30" long and a long cable and the signal was
nonexistant. With the short cable and that same antenna I was using, I
got some hotspots tuned in.


Hi Peter

I sent you an E-mail. Let me know here if it doesnt get to you.

Do you have any specs on the "existing antenna"? I havent seen any
omniazimuth WiFi antennas that long. It is likely that the 30 inch long
antenna is *not* designed for 2.4 GHz use.

Try to get some specs on the loss of the cable you are "picking up".
Since I am not willing to accept the loss associated with coax at this
frequency, I have resorted to either USB or CAT 5 rather than use coax from
the antenna to the computer.
