+__What's Brewing in Simons' Kitchen__%%%
+Wouldn't we all like to know? While waiting on my WNICs and Pigtails from Ryan
+I am pondering about the loss dilemma we have with long runs of LMR 400.%%%
+
+__Current Project__%%%
+My current project it to get an access point working, but a very special one here are the constraints:
+
+- Not more than 1 meter from the antenna%%%
+- Remotely managble%%%
+- Be homebrew (no cheating with hacked ap's)%%%
+- Cheap%%%
+- Small%%%
+
+How do I achieve this... I have a few Ideas in the pipeline.
+
+__Idea 1: Compaq Contura Aero AP__
+
+My initial idea was to build an AP out of a Compaq Contura Aero. However the specs of that subnotebook although good and there is a lot about them on the web with regard to installing *nix was excellent. However it only has 1 PC slot. I have scrapped that idea.
+
+__Idea 2: Gut a Broken Notebook Approach AP__
+
+I am now in the process of working around the idea of using the guts of a notebook with a broken screen and putting it into a weather proof enclosure.
+
+__Stay Tuned__
+
+If anyone has a notebook with the following specs and is willing to part with it please let me know.
+
+__Specs__
+
+- Broken Screen%%%
+- Fdd Drive%%%
+- P100 cpu%%%
+- 16 Mb RAM%%%
+- 500 Mb Hdd%%%
+- all ports working (SVGA,Serial,PCMCIA slots x2)
