I've built two of them. Work great, you need good coax though.

Of course, if you really wanted to have some fun, go to Wal-Mart late at night and ask the greeter if they could help you find trashbags, roll of carpet, rope, quicklime, clorox and a shovel. See if they give you any strange looks. --Streaker69

I remember seeing a tutorial about that somwhere. Might have been in a book? I'll reply back if I find it.

LMR-400. Had about 200 feet of it left over from a tower job. Got the connectors from Fleeman, Anderson & Bird, Corp..
Oh, that's neat, it fills in the web site name.

Barry one last question, did you cut the coax and then solder them like in the pic show here--> hxxp://wireless.gumph.org/articles/homemadeomni.html ?? i found another tutorial where the guy just cuts out the coax insulation
would save me from a lot soldering, what do you think? check it out

Yeah ever since the "overhaul" it has been doing that. It makes it easier to post links. One can just cut and paste, and the rest is taken care of ( in most cases).

Failure to do so will probably get your threads deleted or worse.
That second one is weird. May as well be a coat hanger on a stick. I did it like the first one.

I believe this is the book, it has instructions on building several types of antennas.

Buy it anyway. It has some pretty good destructions on kismet and getting a gps working with kismet. It also supports a couple forum regulars.
