This is ALSO off topic..
In the movie "The Great Escape" when Steve McQueen has just' kicked' the
German soldier and the mad chase to capture McQueen just starts, he drives
his motorcycle behind a house or a barn and over a small creek/bridge. To
the LEFT of that bridge about 10ft off the ground appears to be a 3 ele 6mtr
beam with a STRING tied to the boom. (..armstrong method?). I always
wondered about whether there were any aluminum Yagi antennas in the
940's. -Mike

Subject: [TowerTalk] Ham Radio in Movie
Maybe this has been discussed before?????
Last evening I saw the beginning of "National Lampoon's Vacation" movie
starring Chevy Chase and made in 1983. When Chevy Chase purchases his new
green Ford station wagon and drives it home for the first time, the camera
shows him pulling into a circular driveway in the front of the home and
clearly shows the neighbor with about a 70 or 80 foot telescoping tower with
a large tribander on top.
This is suppose to be in or near Chicago. Does anyone know where this is
and who the ham is next door?
Just curious
Larry, KN8N
