" All right the next two antennas are talking about here. Have something in common and most importantly that they require -- Wi-Fi card of the abilities and external antenna right here basically external antenna Jack's gonna be in the car or you were brouder.

He pig tails which is this device here that goes out from your -- And into an external antenna. Okay first couple going to build an army directional antenna -- about static compact six TV I believe your antenna ends up looking like this when you're done. Let's talk about what you're gonna need -- about time. Twelve inches thirty centimeters 300 millimeters. Copper basically the copper -- household wiring its solid core this is twelve gauge wire. You can even in the connector you know -- findings locally media if you have a ham radio were pretty electronic shop nearby this is the end connector can look great panel amount free chassis balance. And connector panel answer especially good if they don't have the force crews. -- the -- on on the bottom. -- gonna needs and -- first to measure the familiar millimeters to the all of our directions on this are millimeters. Here and -- some pliers before bending. And we a couple of different. Fancy players we found that were kind of useful but the reality is that most -- with a parent needle nose pliers. And most of our cutting with a parent and cutters to figure need one -- something around we used a shall be -- and at 1112 millimeters in diameter to make your loops around. You're also going to need. Some type of inexpensive. PBC to create a cover for that otherwise its really easy to. -- the antenna which is not gonna make you happy. The key to making this antenna is basically precise measuring brain and it's a key to most antennas and what's interesting about this design is -- creating. Any half wave antenna. A three quarter wave antenna any less than three quarter wave antenna that basically produces a capacitance factor which gets -- the ideas and neither understand nor particularly want to get in depth on. But what's interesting about this is basically. Measuring your -- start out more wired -- you need because of something really more refined in embarrassing about ending up with the perfect management at perfect measurement and being six centimeters to -- top. -- The primary tool this is gonna be. You're calpers. -- We're used to -- right here.

Just so we had something to tune with the case things didn't go out. Didn't go to well our measurements. Haven't we found out is you have to remember to take into account the radio saying. The basically the radius of the wire and you've ended and the small of the players use in period tired of the radius is gonna be. But remember that you're gonna have to take the distance. You know appear to an end -- with. Basically just senator of this spiral is going to be as it. -- up to the next level is gonna be your measurements if you want for 61 millimeters from the top of the connector. To the center of that you're gonna have to play around with a link and he -- write it can be a little frustrating and it's pretty easy with time. Withstanding the rather than trying to start spending from here start spending from them about the middle of -- want to make that makes about a 1000% easier to bend the loop around.

And -- it a little tighter and you can play around with that adjustment basically cut everything for toppling upon there. And we're gonna travel suppliers. Who depend that are and here see if that works. And secondly it is where things a little bit more interesting we're gonna -- just for calpers. 291 and half millimeters.
