RE: Wardriving with Yagi Antennas

[Robert Judy <rjudy () sfasu edu>]

Here is a link to the "ultimate war driver" although not used for 
that purpose this Amateur Radio mobile communications center is more 
than capable of getting a signal farther than 10 miles, a lot 
farther. Ham radio operators are not constrained to the "commercial 
power limits" in parts of the "WiFi" spectrum. I think the power 
limit may be 5 Watts ERP or perhaps 50.

For a brief history of wireless networking see 
http://www.cfs.sunysb.edu/Stu/pnoboa/ (and web search it!) "This 
network was called the ALOHANET and is considered to be the world 
first wireless network."

Amateur radio experimenters have been instrumental in the development 
of many commonly used communications modes, wireless digital and 
networking in particular.
