[time-nuts] DIY GPS antenna...

[ed_palmer at sasktel.net]

That sounds like a pinwheel antenna.  I've wondered how hard it would 
be to build one, but I've never seen a DIY version and the math is way 
beyond me.  The only commercial version that I've seen is from 
Novatel.  Do they control all the patents?
