Kilosinetpro, ping08:01
Kiloshttp://www.ehow.com/how_7972889_build-50-mile-wireless-antenna.html08:01
Kilosmaybe ill come steal your wifi08:03
Kiloshehe08:03
* Kilos waits for "point is" or "ai!"08:07
Kiloswhere theres a will theres a way08:15
inetproKilos: that is just theory08:22
Kilosok ill keep trying08:23
Kilosgood morning08:23
inetproKilos: what do you think is the purpose of them putting the free wifi hotspots?08:23
inetproit's all about doing business 08:23
Kilosyeah well i already use telkom mobile so i do business with them08:24
inetprohaha08:24
Kilosmaybe ill ask them to put a hotspot here08:24
Kilosmight just get a friendly okey to agree08:25
inetprothey put the hotspots around restaurants, post offices or such places08:25
Kilosthey gotta make an exception for me08:25
inetprothey know if you sit there you will do more business, like buy food, etc08:25
Kilosi wonder what the cost of such a hotspot would be08:26
inetprofact is, they don't build the hotspot for long distance 08:26
Kilosya thats why the closest one is in a hair salon near the tunnel08:26
inetpronothing for mahala08:27
Kilosthats where the antenna must make up for the distance man08:27
Kilosgood antenna boost signal both ways08:27
inetproai!08:27
charlgood morning08:28
charlMaaz: coffee on08:28
* Maaz starts grinding coffee08:28
Kilosim not gonna give up. lost much free wifi data already08:28
KilosMaaz, coffee please08:28
MaazKilos: Alrighty08:28
inetproKilos: go ahead and build it, then you show me08:28
Kilosok deal08:28
inetproKilos: if you have a signal of -90dBm the antenna may be able to improve it to -70dBm08:30
inetprobut I bet you you will not even get -150dBm08:31
inetprowithout the antenna08:31
Kilosi dunno how to check that08:31
inetproand anything worse than -110 is just about useless08:31
Kilosanyway if the theory says 50 miles then my 7 ks should work08:32
MaazCoffee's ready for charl and Kilos!08:32
inetprojaja08:32
KilosMaaz, danke08:32
MaazBitteschön08:32
inetproKilos: with a mobile phone like your android device you can check the signal strength08:32
inetprothat is why I say, go to a hotspot and move around the area to test08:33
Kilosthey dont see any signal apart from neighbour08:33
inetproso if there is no signal then there is nothing to boost08:34
Kilosai!08:34
Kilosill look into the ptawug too08:34
Kilosthey will have coverage here08:34
inetproKilos: don't confuse wifi with wireless08:36
Kilosoh my isnt it the same thing?08:36
