Oh, P.S. for all the people who might want to build one of these, and aren't too familiar with RF coax: RF coax is not the same as your normal CATV/satellite coax. You can't use SAT coax! You'll damage your gear. CATV/SAT coax is rated at 75 Ohms of impedance. RF gear requires 50 Ohm cable... Some Radio Shacks still carry it... but places like Home Depot don't. Just be careful or you'll damage your gear.
