I could build that sure.  But I don't think my mom could install it.
I need a solution like: "Mom, take the blue box and plug it in.  Put it
in the window facing the neighbors house."  An antenna would have to fit
into something simple, like a plastic coffee can.

I'm also thinking that a powered repeater would be a better solution over
an passive repeater.
