Whipped this up last night. Seems to yeild 1 to 2 bars when pointed appropriatly..nothing scientific..just basic testing. I will test more this weekend.

Found the specs here: http://273k.net/gsm/designing-and-building-a-gsm-antenna/yagi/

Behold:


Yep....1/8" brass rod, a scrap piece of trim and some hot glue.

Nothing concrete on acutal gain. It does improve the signal 2-6 db and was a relativley easy project. As of today I do not subcribe to EVDO service but plan on it soon.

Later,
