That's right.
There are certainly plenty of cheap and very effective options out
there.
I haven't tried the half parabola yet, but it should be pretty similar
to a corner reflector I expect.
The salad bowl/wire strainer also works better than it deserves to :-)
I often hear 3G net users whinging about their lousy reception, yet
when you try to explain how they could easily overcome it by putting
their adapter on an extension cable and using some sort of reflector,
they just look at you like you're mad.
I wouldn't mind trying out tis item on Ebay - cheap and interesting.
