Wireless Internet Cantenna

Step 1 It all started with Pachanka's Wokfi

After reading another instructable on how easy it could be to build a parabolic antenna, I wound up with this

And this, is a 24 inch wok I found at Goodwill for $7, mounted on top of a telescope tripod. Handles were removed and the thumb-fi taped and hung off of some string into the focal point

But before I could test this wokfi, I read yet another instructable for a yagi cantenna, and after following some of the links in the comments I decided to build this cantenna

LOVE the room, funky pipe. Is it for decaration?

[Shadetree Engineer]

The funky pipe is very much not for looks. It probably could be an instructable of it's own. But it's been built so many years ago that I will only describe it here. It's part of my auxiliary heating system, in the background you might note a fan, and the bottom half of a 5-gallon propane tank turned upside down. The tank acts as an exhaust hood directly over a propane space-heater (the kind of heater you are not supposed to use indoors) The space heater may not be seen easily in that photo. The, now, top of the hood is connected to several lengths of aluminum clothes dryer exhaust tube, which is that funky pipe you mentioned. The fan blows warm air out of the closet, and along the tubing, which is acting as a radiator. The tube runs the whole length of my travel trailer - along the ceiling, before exiting out through the wall to a 2 inch chimney. I think the chimney thing was supposed to be used for gas fired heaters anyways. Well, the hardware store had it, and it looked useful anyways.
