Those indoor dipole antennas are actually dual-mode
devices that can be used as radio antennas or hotdog
cookers. Aim the outside Yagi high gain antenna at
your microwave oven and it will cook the hotdogs.

JRW, I would have contacted you directly but your email is cleaverly
spam proofed. I am looking to build a passive system similar to what
you constructed. I DON'T have $40K worth of test equipment to tune
and trouble shoot it.

From the top of my property in the hills I have a clean shot at local
AT&T GSM site. The house is down in the nook of the hill. The cable
run would be 50 meters. Any chance that a passive repeater system
would take the house from a "some days works, some days dosen't"
status to consistent coverage?
