Ingenuity at it's finest - My brother sent me a link to this item out of New Zealand where an UHF (I love that movie!) television station found a way to broadcast in the face of a financial mountain.
$10 wok keeps TV station on air - 22 Feb 2007 - National News - New Zealand Herald.
Why pay $20,000 for a commercial link to run your television station when a $10 kitchen wok from the Warehouse is just as effective?
This is exactly how North Otago's newest television station 45 South is transmitting its signal from its studio to the top of Cape Wanbrow, in a bid to keep costs down.
They can transmit up to 20km. How cool is that?!
It certainly qualifies for an oddity.
Update:
Apparently you can do this with your Wifi too: USB adaptors & DIY antenna = "Poor Man's WiFi"
Oh and check out the Directional WIFI Range Extender using a steame
