==Progress==
* 07/28/2007:  [[User:Gregabyte|Gregabyte]] and [[User:Tanstaafl|Tanstaafl]] purchased copper and tin plates from RC Hobbies for the purpose of making antennas.  It has been determined that we need HSMS-8101, HSMS-8202, or HSMS-2865 Schottky diodes in order for it to work.  The HSMS-2865 has a wider range than the other two with the ability to pick up 915Mhz, 2.45Ghz, and 5.8Ghz.

==Uses==
* [[WiFi filching BEAMbots]]
* [[Passive WiFi detector]]
