Wanted to clarify my network is an airport extreme base station in one building which then is extended by another airport extreme base station about 100' away. The second extreme base station extends the signal about 70-100' additional feet without much signal loss both inside and outside the second building.
That being said, the reduction in speed on an extended network does drop somewhat. At the source base station speeds are about 30% (average) faster than at the extended end of the network.
This is all using service from a local ISP wireless network.

Thanks to all for your suggestions. I will look into finding another "expert" to see what can be done. I can get a Bear Extender Mini but it would work on only one device at a time. Also, when my adult children come with their (ahem) PC laptops (benighted souls) I am not sure the extender would work for them.
My house does not have any internal solid walls, actually, only sheetrock as it is a post and beam construction (sort of like a pole barn) where the internal walls, many of which do not actually extend to the cathedral ceiling, can be moved at will. So my wi-fi "ought" (I hate that word) to extend to the entire household, though there is a distance of about 75 feet from the wireless router on top of a bookshelf is located to the very end of the house. There has to be a solution, so I will soldier on.

Try, temporarily lowering it down 2 shelves, and see what that does. They don't always broadcast in a spherical pattern. Sometimes they broadcast in half spherical patterns.

Turns out I missed a crucial step in the process. Although I formatted the drive, I somehow failed to partition it, and apparently until it is partitioned, the Installer cannot see an unpartitioned drive as a target.

Howdy.
Nick, the partition thing used to be a frequently missed step for
reformatting. It's too subtle and hidden a thing but had to be done to
get to the little dialog that lets you select the GUID partition
table. But I thought this had changed in more recent versions of OS X.
If you come across more info on this, I'd like to hear about what you
discover.
This fooled me several years ago during the transition to Intel
processors. I posted these steps several times but that was some time
ago and hopefully these will help someone.
The trick here involves several steps:
1. Select the drive and not the volume/partition in Disk Utility.
2. Click the Partition tab.
3. In the Partition Layout popup menu, for most users with just one
partition, it will say "Current."
4. The trick is to change "Current" to "1 Partition."
5. You should then be able to click the Options… button and select
GUID partition table and click Apply button.

Thanks Dan. I will follow your example and hopefully end up with a fresh install of Mtn Lion on my new SSD.

While Hitachi internal mechanisms tend to be really good, GTech external hard drives for a time not too long ago were putrid. Then, very recently, they became quite good.
Check the owner feedback on the specific model you are interested in on Amazon before you purchase, to know which you are getting.
I highly recommend a Glyph drive instead.

i got enough drives. but i checked out the drive Randy recommended. looks and sounds cool (in more than one way).
from amazon:
"
Technical Details
Inside The Box - 9-Pin FireWire 800 Cable, IEC Power CableFeatures
A cool drive is a healthy drive - The GTP50 uses a temperature-controlled fan making it overall quieter than our previous designs while still offering proper cooling. The case is designed with front-panel ventilation holes to draw cool air in, while exhausting warm air out the back - critical to the performance and reliability of the components.
Triple Interface - The GPT50 provides all the ports you'd possibly need. With FireWire 800, USB 2.0 and eSATA options, you can connect the GPT50 to your external interface of choice.
Nobody likes wall-warts - They are easily misplaced, or accidentally unplugged from the drive, and take up valuable outlet space. The GPT50 uses an industry-standard power cord and pro-quality internal power supply for the most efficient and reliable power source possible.
Keeping your data safe - The GPT50 boasts new features designed to keep your data safe. The intelligent power switch must be held for 3 seconds to power off the drive, guarding against unintended power-off. The multifunction LED shows drive power, activity, and also warns of a failing hard drive.

i suddenly inherited 17GBs of sleepimage. i've read it can be gotten rid of. i entered the command line i read from some guy off of google.
but it came back. it wasn't there until recently?
can someone tell me how to get rid of it. it is important (to me) because it is on my only 120GB SSD. (i shoulda)

It seems that Doug likely has 16 gb RAM on his system so the sleepimage file is the same size:

Thanks for the link, Tim. I had never heard the term before. As I'm fond of saying, I learn something new every day, which important. It keeps me from falling too far behind because at my age I forget at least two things every day.
