How To Add An External Antenna To AirPort Base Station

    I already had an article I wrote regarding pigtailing the Airport on Slashdot back in April, so why the same story? I notice that there's a bit of repition here, there was another story published on /. recently that was also covered in the same article I wrote.

    I'm not trying to say I did it first here and I appreciate that others may have different or better information, but to be honest, I can't see that this article improves over what I wrote before. My article covers pigtailing the airport and the use of a number of different types of home made antennae with the base station, including range tests as well as disecting both the Aiport and Airport Extreme.

    Perhaps the editors should check a little harder about previous postings when weighing up whether to publish new ones?

    Same way when a car pass them, some people can name the Make, Model and Year of a car.

    What kind of computer guy emphasizes going INSIDE THE MACHINE.

    That's like an plumber who says, "The,n I had to go UNDER THE SINK."

    Or an auto mechanic that says, "Then Ford told me I had to go UNDER THE HOOD."
