Five Mile Wifi - EU or UK Dealer?

I am considering purchasing a WIFI antenna from 5mileWIFI - www.5milewife.com - , is anyone aware of a UK or European dealer, the US-based company itself hasn't responded to my email question after more than one week!

Thanks
Roger

Here is a link to a setup that was less than $100. I have something similar except I use an amplifier. This has really boosteed my signal. Voyages of Sea Trek: WiFi Adapter For The Boat Revisited

I'm not sure that's his concern, it's having his questions to Five Mile go unanswered. You have provided the correct URL for the company, Jentine, but I'm certain there's a good joke in there somewhere about the OP's Five Mile Wife.

Jentine and Tao, thanks for your input and corrections to the link, sorry about the typo. I wonder if it reflects the state of my mind?
