Get yourself some decent Parabolic antennas and make sure that you take into account the curvature of the earth and elevation of both locations when you make your shot. You will also need to make sure there is no foilage in the way due to the fact that 2.4GHz is the same frequency that water resonates at (think microwave ovens). If there are trees in your way I'd go down to 900MHz which would be a little slower but you'll be able to do longer shots with it. I've been able to do 25-30 Mile shots on two senao pcmcia 200Mw cards a 24dBi antenna at one end and a 16dBi yagi on the other. One more thing you may want to consider is to use high grade cable such as LMR-400 or better. If you need any help, PM me an I'll offer you some assistance.

haha, that was my first thought too :winkwink:

Sounds like a big project!

Beautiful property :thumbsup

:thumbsup Nice! Looks impressive!

$20,000 and it still doesn't work?

and all this for an 802.11B signal?

jesus christ, some people just have NO clue what to do when they get money

You will forever by my hero!

If I could have done this in Texas, I wouldnt have moved to Las Vegas. I hate living in the fucking city.

What about GPRS via cellphone?
Or is that sloooooooooow?

how do you plan on protecting the data? wireless security still isnt all that great

IS there any proof about running wireless and defects.

I have this in my house and office and wonder if it's really safe :(

Brad...
Yeah man...Just go for it, love that ....impressive! Just do it!

Most would just sit behind there bong and think or dream of this...you have done it...bravo...

Takes balls to do something like this good for you!

Now you just got to get it to work...:Graucho

haha looks like his antenna is worth twice what the house is.

Direcway satellite internet is available in Canada now.

upload speed on that crap is slower than dialup.

Very impressive indeed. I get a boner over big towers from my amateur/CB radio days when I would have loved to have a 100' tower, mine was only 30'. :upsidedow

All of you spent way way too much...lol

it looks promising...goodluck with the installation. :thumbsup

I am hiring monkeys to sit on the tower and shoot at anyone war driving around it. :)

You make it sound like I just reached in my pocket and threw money at this project without much regard for research.

Well you are right LOL

Kidding of course, we spent a ton on the research to make sure this would work. We are just in the tweaking stage now. It will work.

I think Brad is trying to compete with the CN Tower. :1orglaugh

DH

uh... That's my garage ;)

Awesome! I honestly want to live so far out that I need something like that for connections. I'm incredibly jealous!!! :)

nice pics :)

Thanks :) I love it out there. Can't see or hear any neighbors. Total privacy.

my old man had a 75' Ham Tower, a horse got tangled in the gye wires and the thing crashed down on top of the roof in my room, i thought it was the end of the world!

Ouch.

Wow, that's nuts!!! Don't tell me your going to go through all that and hook it up to a T1. What kind of connnection are you going to set that up with? Which carrier are you planning to use? Your spending way too much to get good internet speeds.

Me too - I haven't closed my blinds since I moved here 3+ years ago :)

Thankfully an ex-president has a house here so they have DSL in the whole subdivision. :thumbsup

To help cover the 20k why dont you Build a Laser on the top of it and sell it to your goverment?
I mean if austin powers can have sharks with lasers why cant you have a tower with a "Laser" ?

if they had a clue about this stuff they wouldnt have money..

let him play.. hell get there ;)

Lol Too funny
