I need a not too expensive 2.4 gHz outdoors omni antenna for my boat - is the Poynting Puck 12 good?

Actually that's my spare I tested with. The one I have in the boat has the USB card inside a waterproof box, and the exposed parts of the antenna outside the box are covered with shrink tube. So that is not a problem. But still I would think that the puck would give a better result than around one dB more than the smal antenna, I guess I may be limited by the power in the RTL card. Here in Norway we use glass wool instead of sheet rock btw.

Went cod fishing in the Trondheim Fjord many years ago. The professor insisted that we wait until he had the water boiling before we could cast a line. Less than a minute from catch to in the boiling water. The taste was remarkably sweet. Unlike what we get in the States.

Yeah, there were good times for cod fishing a few decades ago. Now it's not as good. Too much fishing and a warmer sea has made the catch much rarer. Btw you studied at NTH, then?

Father did consulting work with a professor there for the Norwegian government's development of the oil extraction and processing. Air pollution modeling, i think, as he had a large wind tunnel for scaled modeling back in the late 1960s - 70s

I see! Then your father is part of the reason we are stinking rich here now! Thank you!
