Well, you are gastrointestinally adroit.

That's the coolest antenna cannon I've seen. I see he is also selling them, but I hope he has good liability insurance lest one of his customers shoots his eye out.

I built one of those from a kit, included the spear fishing reel. It freaking ROCKS.

Messing with the dog is funny as hell. Launch the ball, and she'll fetch it.
It takes a while to come back though, because it launches so far.

Here's the kit I built.... http://www.antennalaunchers.com/csv19/index.html

This is a pic, but painted mine blue with bright red reel line:

That is awesome... post a pic of yours? (perhaps i should search the forum)
Probably the best homebrew kit i've ever seen!

[WØTKX]

Well, it was the Deluxe Kit. All the PVC and parts were included. Had to drill 'n tap two holes.

Not cheap, but it changes your perspective about the difficulty of putting up a wire antenna.

[KG4NEL]

Yeah, a couple of club members here have built one.

Also fun for squirrels...so I'm told... :p

Well, you are gastrointestinally adroit.

I'm not sure whether I should be flattered or insulted by that...

[KG4NEL]

Sounds like the result of Taco Bell.

You call that a deluxe kit? Now THIS is a deluxe kit!

[XE1/N5AL]

You could probably use that to launch micro sats into orbit.

Punkin' Chunkin' for prizes and like that, eh?

Adroit? I thought that's where they made automobiles.

Not any more. They're all made in Japan now.
