Meraka Institute - Wireless Africa: "Small, self-constructed antennas made from locally available material and connected to a low-cost WiFi card plugged into a computer. The innovative “home-brew” antenna, which uses a coffee tin and a section of bicycle spoke soldered into a special connector, can connect to anther point with a similar antenna 10km away. This allows local connectivity comparable to that of commercially available antennas."
