[MLB-WIRELESS] Orientation of antennas

[Tony Smith]

Gimme a break!

I am a computer expert, not a radio expert. In fact, beyond its ability to
allow me to transfer data over it I have no interest in radio.

The fact that we now look silly as a result of assembling something as if it
were a meccano set merely indicates that Murphy is alive and well.

The funny thing is that the damm things do sort of work, but I am sure they
will work a lot netter pointing in the right direction :-)


Cheers
