Perhaps we're looking at the wrong band. What if we're dealing in the UHF or higher frequencies? Each fastener could act as a complete antenna with the sum of them acting as passive repeaters for a boosted signal. The wood isolated each individual antenna from the other, while the shape of the antenna arrays (pallets) could act to direct the beams to the intended receivers.

Oww.. I hadn't thought about that!
