Question for a #radio person, perhaps HR4BTC (nprofile…k5tp)?
If a dipole antenna is 59.14 mm in length (tuned for 802.11g, channel 1), and you attach it directly to the wifi card, that's great.
My question is: if you now extend that antenna by attaching it to the wifi card using a wire, like a normal person, would that cause it to no longer be tuned for 2412 MHz?
If so, what's the point of buying the "proper" antenna?
If not, how on Earth does that work?!
