The antenna is still in the exact same position as can be seen here: http://psand.net/photos/clan/indexfiles/DSC00205.JPG.html A little rustier but nonetheless functional.

The cantenna is reading about 19dB at the moment, which really isn't most less than what it did originally. The cable's fair grade really being URM-67 and the antenna on the ECC has actually moved since the cantenna was put up, so probably realigning it might be a good idea. I'm going to stick with how it is, I was involved in putting that antenna up and it cost about 25 quid tops to make and came with a free bottle of whiskey to boot! Be great to have it working again. Hopefully will be streaming Radio Vague over it this coming Sunday ;) We shall see .... Cheers, Mike.

Providing this protection incurs considerable costs in terms of system performance, system stability, technical support overhead, and hardware and software cost. These issues affect not only users of Vista but the entire PC industry, since the effects of the protection measures extend to cover all hardware and software that will ever come into contact with Vista, even if it's not used directly with Vista (for example hardware in a Macintosh computer or on a Linux server). This document analyses the cost involved in Vista's content protection, and the collateral damage that this incurs throughout the computer industry. Executive Executive Summary The Vista Content Protection specification could very well constitute the longest suicide note in history. _______________________________________________ Bristolwireless mailing list Bristolwireless@lists.psand.net http://lists.psand.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/bristolwireless
