[MLB-WIRELESS] Rojone Omni and 3km link

[Robbie Werner]

That's really good to know!  I've been quite hazy on the effectiveness of
omnis, but this gives me more confidence.

I'll have a look through the archives now, but is there any info floating
about regarding that particular omni?  Was it homemade, or is Rojone the
manufacturer?

It's a shame that it's not a permanent arrangement though...  Some guy
permanently stuck up a 50 foot pole could become a real tourist attraction!
It would be some good exposure for Melbourne Wireless!  :)
