i did not have immediate access to "Chinese parabolic cookware" however i will use one next time. instead,i used an eight inch strainer , without the strainer i do not get a signal in my house. this entire instructable has been uploaded via the strainer/usb antenna.

i used the belkin wireless G usb adapter. it comes with a base and some cable.

this one is an 8 inch strainer with a handle.

i am getting this signal from across a river.
