[AMRadio] "Real" AM'er

[Robert Fish]

Hi Guys,
My system for launching lines into trees is to take a golf ball and 
drill a hole through it on the drill press. Then, thread 30lb test 
fishing line through the golf ball
and use a tennis racket to whack the golf ball over the tree. Use the 
fishing line to haul the dacron rope over the tree and away I go. As a 
result I have a few
golf balls suspended permanently in the tree. By the way, not the first 
or last golf balls I've lost in the trees. (at least I can still see these).

On a parallel note, A few months ago, my neighbor from down the street 
knocked on my door. I answered and said, " Hi Rich, what's up?"
He said, " My wife and I noticed that your antenna hasn't changed in a 
week or so, I thought I should come down and check on you and make sure 
you are OK. "

73,
