Well,  yes, as a matter of fact, several times.  It was still inside of a
live cat, however.  (Technically, I couldn't actually SEE it but I knew
it was there.)

I would like to remind K7LXC that HE is the one who started the "cat
skeleton" thread . . .  8-)

In keeping with the main  topic of towers and antennas, has anyone ever
tried to load a cat as an antenna?  What feed system did you use?  How
much gain did it have?  I think it has been tried in Europe and they
called it the "CFA" (Cat Fazed Array).  Has to be analyzed using
unconventional fizix . . .  I understand that no matter what the polarity
of the launched signal is, it always lands on its feet.

(OK.  OK.  I'll quit now  . . . )
