This is the page that announces the winners from last weekend's Def Con "Wi-Fi Shootout", where the competition was to see what's the farthest distance that someone could pick up a wireless signal with a commercial or homemade antenna. At Def Con closing ceremonies, we heard that the winner (with a homemade antenna) weighed in with an impressive 35.2 mile range. Unfortunately though, they didn't have pics of the antennas to show us. This URL, however, *does* have more details and pics of some of the various contraptions that were assembled in the Nevada desert. Congrats to the winners! |
