[VHFcontesting] Pneumatic Antenna Launcher

[Jack]

I had mentioned in my previous post here that I use a pneumatic antenna launcher by Alan, WB6ZQZ.  Here is the URL to Alan's excellent page where he describes how he engineered and designed these.  He sells them as kits or assembled.  You can also follow his design and scrounge the parts yourself:

In any case, I get a lot of use out of this launcher when camping, as well as back home when I'm trying to clear trees or insane bramble.  

Considering the fact that my launcher has easily cleared trees in excess of 150 feet (!), this has been VERY useful!  You'll also suddenly be invited to virtually every Field Day site in your area (unless they don't have trees hi hi).
