Reminds me of the good old days of 802.11a where we created a building bounced wifi connection to a friend (3km away with diy helical antennas) just to be able to use his internet connection 😂

David- THANK YOU so much for this channel. I've had to learn much of this myself through trial-and-error, but you've answered many of my questions that weren't addressed anywhere else. (Been to Adelaide a couple times too, gorgeous town!) Are the 3D files for this antenna available for download somewhere? Is there an efficient RF switch I could use to select between different cellular antennas?

Thanks heaps. An RF switch is something that gets used more in the specialist fields of engineering. They are quite expensive (few $100's) but work well. I would say it'll be easier to use a physical swap.

That is so awesome, love your channel for your great visualizations and demonstrations!! Came from your "Converting a satellite dish to a WiFi antenna" video, and glad that audio is much better.

Hi David, good video! It would be worth re testing with a 20mhz channel width, and noting the fresnel zone radius. At 400M on 5.8ghz the radius is 2.27M it looks like the beach may be obstructing that due to low antenna and phone heights.

100% agreed. I purposely used my iPhone for this test as it is probably the worst WiFi receiver I could use, but I was trying to emulate real use situations. Eventually I would love to use an ALFA Card with another dish as my receiver, and also go from a cliff to the beach (which is on the other side of the same beach). In that instance I believe I will get well past 1km range.
