    I'm more of a radio fan than expert. I program Bluetooth apps and software defined radio. This is my wifi card.

    It's because you don't spend enough time around wifi to recharge your batteries. ;)

    hey thats cool lode! I plan on doing that myself actually, I have the plans right here...
    the satellite hooks right into your computer and you can pick up wifi signals much furthur away right, thereby increasing your chances of free internet right? lol

    Specifically every wifi card has an antenna. In this setup the external antenna is simply removed from the wifi card, sma to N type low loss cable was run from the wifi car to the satellite, and the parabolic shape of the satellite provides a very large antenna.

    And if one were to get to tell their operating system that their wifi regulatory zone was in Bolivia,(iw reg set bo) one could increase the txpower on their wifi card to 30db. A very formidable radio.

    haha, it's the other way around!

    If television is the boob tube and the idiot box.. turning people into couch potatoes.. what's the computer / internet? Invisible heavy magnetic metal chains and - GASP! - what if the wifi is tapping into my brain because it thinks my brain is a computer? It's draining my CPU! My mind was pixelized and meshed a long time ago.

    Disclosure: before anybody decides to beat me up for what I just wrote ...

    I. AM. SELF-AMUSING. playing around, joking. sheesh. Except for the pixelized and meshed thing, that part is true.

    I still don't have the energy and I'm not in the mood but I'm gonna tell my funky little story now.

    Do people know about the radiation event we had in May, 2013? I originally thought it was solar radiation but later wondered if it could've been nuclear. It was mega intense.

    I have a table top stereo that I keep in the kitchen, which I use mostly for CD's. But I sometimes listen to the local college radio station (it's the only station I ever listen to). I've been listening to it for years so I'm very familiar with the music they play, though I couldn't tell ya song or band names. Anyway, during this radiation event, I had the stereo on (volume low). I realized that I didn't recognize what was playing (pure sound, no lyrics). I got real close to put my ear to the speaker and I got blasted with that horrible screeching feedback noise. I yanked my head away, stunned. I didn't get close to it again but I turned up the volume and listened to that sound for about a minute. Then I got nervous, turned it off. For the next few days, I kept turning it back on just to see if the radio station had gone back to normal. The same thing was happening at the gas station, the radio system they have was playing this strange, strange sound.

    I think it was something cosmic, coming straight through the airwaves (or maybe it was the actual sound of radiation itself). What I don't understand is the screeching feedback noise when I put my ear next to the speaker. That "cosmic" sound (whatever it was) is so hard to describe. The only thing I could say was that it was distinctly NOT human origin (no discernible piano, guitar or any instrument). It played in a stream and was almost pleasant, but disturbing at the same time.

    So, that's my story.

    OMG!!!!!

    You've convinced me!!

    How could I have not seen it before?

    Of course static coming from a radio is certainly incontrovertible proof of EVERYTHING you have been saying.
    PLEASE SAVE US!!!

    You know, there is a pretty good chance that unusually strange radio background you've heard may literally have been cosmic. Radio waves are generated when a comet hits and burns up in the atmosphere.

    Isn't the big bang to be heard in some kind of ever resonating radio wave?
