[ogWiFi] Looking for Directional Antenna

[ajmal rahman]

Sounds interesting...so u've made this from this dish ?
I saw one that uses a bi-quad driven element and printed circuit board
reflector.

I have an SWR meter but its only for hf.....dont think its any gud in the
microwave region.

Well, catch u later....let me know how it goes.
