My ham tried to put an antenna in the tree and it doesn't work much to his dismay. Now he has a ladder on my deck with a piece of PVC tubing and a Pilates1/2 ball holding up the bottom of the PVC tube, yes I said Pilates ball. I asked him if he wanted to get a longer pole and he said I was thinking of mounting an antenna on your garage. With all this talk about poles, balls and mounting whats a hamsmtnchic to do?

My 2m J-Pole is on a 20' mast, the bottom of which is held by a lawn umbrella stand...

All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

Hang it from the top floor balcony that is over the hot tub?

Ingenuity is the hallmark of the ham; necessity is the mother of invention. Just wait until he starts on about conjugate matches...

Or in the case of modern pharmaceuticals, invention is the mother of necessity.
