Applebees

Does anyone really like Applebees? My choices for a late night snack around here are pretty much limited to Perkins, Applebees or the Flameburger. They don't have beer at Flameburger (at least it's not on the Menu. They have an ok sirloin for under $10. Other than that ????? We just had really marginal appetizers.

I Googled for about 1 minute and found this website.

So, having some coat hangers, some duct tape, aluminum foil from the kitchen, and 60 minutes, I built this:

Signal strength is way up and my NBC problem is gone.

5 years of electrical engineering classes and a degree finally pays off.
