[CS-FSLUG] Hi-Gain Wi-Fi Antennae

[Jim Isbell, W5JAI]

At one time I was interested in setting up a Wi-Fi system to cover the
whole town...maybe 100 acres...  I was told that it was possible.  It
would take gain at BOTH ends of the path.  ( i.e. in this context,
gain = either more antenna or more transmitting power)
