[TowerTalk] EZ-Hang

[Pete Smith]

Lew, there was a recent message on towertalk about a series of pneumatic line launchers for ham antenna use, available for purchase finished or in kit form.  Looked really cool, and certainly has the range you're talking about - I very much doubt an EZ-Hang would do that. There was a URL but I've lost it.
