It sure seems like there's enough interest to have a presentation on<br>
antennas and build-your-own hardware and radio/TV signal propagation.<br>
While I'm not planning on building an antenna, I'd love to see what<br>
and how others have done it.<br>
<br>
And while we're on the off-topic of non-linuxy hardware, there's<br>
enough interest in VOIP for a presentation too. I'd love to hear what<br>
tools and utilities are available from providers, and what some people<br>
have done with their own setups. Call forwarding? Individual lines for<br>
each room in the house? Cell phone integration? Should make for an<br>
interesting evening.<br>
<br>
