Aerial Extreme

I got fed up with the weak signal from my inbuilt Airport Extreme aerial so I decided to do a little mod.

With mac stumbler I now score 20 points more & can join next doors wireless lan! Must go round & show next door neighbour how to secure it! ;D

If I am having a really sad moment I may draw up an adapter made of alloy billet to angle the mast back slightly like a car roof aerial!!

Almost looks like your computer is trying to call somewhere. Or it looks alive, one of the two.
"G4 phone home!!"

Have done a bit more work testing aerials of all different shapes & sizes, & have come up with this shape that is canted back 45 degrees which emphasises the signal towards the front of the computer which is conveniently where I need it! I am in the middle of machining a sample but unfortunately work keeps getting in the way and it probably won't get finished till next week.

Nice work...you have good taste on modding you G4 in general.
