As long as it's not too windy, these work well..  The other issue I've 
had is that the WiFi range isn't as good as I would like, but I think 
that's more of an interference issue (with the zillions of home access 
points around me).  I haven't figured out yet how to put a directional 
antenna in the system (not like my iPad has a antenna connector)


I'd love to figure out a way to put a very low mass field strength 
receiver on one and send the output back to the ground.  Measure the 
pattern in-situ...


(and I'll bet you've had the experience of hitting a tree branch or leaves)
