um, HOLY CRAP....
Of course, I realize that the flat landscape and ideal weather conditions, distance from signal interference obstacles, etc. -- But still very cool.

Very cool. Just wait until ultra-wide band starts to roll out - that will really make an impact. I wonder how the cell carriers are going to react to that?

WOW 8O I need to try something like that. Too bad the fcc limits the power for wifi to 1watt output and 4 watts eirp. I'm running .704 watts to a 15 db gain cell site antenna and I can get fairly far but it's nowhere near 82miles.

Are you using VOIP on Pocket PC now?
Ed (or any other reader),
Are you using VOIP on Pocket PC now? If so what program (URL)? And what SIP/provider are you using?

Keep in mind that this is only the longest 802.11b shoot in the United States, not the world. I seem to remember another team in Europe that shot a signal from a high altitude balloon down to earth (GPS-based targeting).
Makes me want to build a Cantenna! http://www.cantenna.com/

Well, this is the terrestrial record. You shoot a signal over 100 miles straight up and its usefulness to me goes waay down. :wink:
Joe - no, no VoIP because there is no point in having it in my house with my wlan. I'd do it though if they got WiFi towers up that basically killed the cell phone business.
