I want to hook a external antenna up to a Airport station, can I detatch the ones Apple gives you and hook my own up?

Yes, here are a few sites to help you:

German Site (http://www.maceinsteiger.de/html/anleitung/airport_range.shtml) (translate with a search engine)
Antother site in English (http://www.vonwentzel.net/ABS/Extender.html)
A wealth of info on Base Stations (http://www.vonwentzel.net/ABS/index.html)

Extending your range with a powered antenna might vioalte some FCC rules…

Hope this helps.

Just get one of those flat-panel antennas and the antenna cable should fit right into the card. I once worked on a city-wide network using orincoco cards and these antennas, they work great...
