A cheaper WiFi external antenna solution

Atheros USB modem & 7dBi antenna
5m length of USB extension cable
32mm PVC pipe & end caps
22mm blind grommet
Assorted cable ties & hose clamps
3m mast (i used an old curtain rod)

Why only 5m extension cable? well apparently you encounter time delays with longer lengths which would upset the modems operation.
