Cool IEEE 802.11b WAN

Nevermind about integrating the primestar dish with my FTA, I'm quite happy with it as is. I decided to go another route with the dish... IEEE 802.11b wireless Wan! If anyone knows of a good forum that has topics like this let me know, I have yet to find one. I made a "transiever" for the primestar dish, almost identical to the one pictured at the supplied link.
(Except it has a coffee can lid on it to keep bugs and water out, works well. Did not hinder the signal in my tests!) Also if I solder a longer wavelength of flat wire on the conductor I could get up to 32dB gain!!!
LIGHTNING FAST CONNECTION!
Use a Surplus Primestar Dish as an IEEE 802.11 Wireless Networking Antenna
