[MLB-WIRELESS] Antenna link

[rick]

alan can you do me a favor and test some wet string (some wool or cotten 
based one not nylon)

alan i think the spacing of your twists is to big and its not designed 
as a long distance antenna design or even a high gain, have you looked 
at the pcb designs or colinior?
