[TowerTalk] Gotchya Antenna

[Jeff Carter]

Okay, you got us.  You were successful in trolling the list.

Past a point, however, the joke isn't funny.  April Fool's was over
eight days ago, and although it's clear that a lot of work went into
that website, that doesn't mean you get to extend April Fool's Day
into April Fool's Month.

The good news is that it comes around on the same day every year and
there will always be hams who haven't seen it and aren't in on the
joke.  You can use it year after year if you want.  It's probably not
fair to use on CBers since most of them won't have any basis for
knowing it was a joke even if you tell them.

I will admit I personally didn't realize it was a joke until I saw the
picture and read how a "well known ham" had modeled the antenna.
Everybody knows Lirpa Loof,  AF0OL..  Was that the "well known ham" in
question?

>Regarding modeling, they hired a "well known ham" from Northern Cal to do all the modeling and he did and it took quite a while, since they did improvements/ changes to the product, that is what I'm told..
