I have been looking for designs for a small ultra-portable directional antenna.This is my end result:

Here are pictures of my project.The most expensive piece of hardware was the pigtail to plug into my Lucent Orinoco Silver Wireless card.Items required to make this are:Jumbo paperclips,Pigtail,Zip disk,soldering iron,solder and exacto knife.I used a hot glue gun to hold each element in placce.This took less than 2 hours to complete and experience is not required.
