Bit of a tangent, but shows what you can do to 'get out' when ya 
gotta 'get out!'

>From ARRL Website:
     Operation over Memorial Day weekend, May 26-28, by special event

station K0S will highlight the 2007 Strange Antenna Challenge. 
Sponsors say K0S will employ out-of-the-ordinary antennas to promote 
Amateur Radio and making do with what might be available during an 
emergency. 

     Individuals and clubs may participate as "satellite 
stations" by using anything but wire or pipe for a radiating element 
and adding "/K0S" to their call signs. Details are on the KØS, 
Strange Antenna Challenge Web site. Strange antennas used in past 
events, dating back to 2002, have included folding chairs, paint 
easels, ladders, tape measures, dog kennels, fences, cots and chicken

fencing (photo) with a trampoline as nn apparent ground plane. "More 
people share in the fun each year," says Erik Weaver, N0EW, a Strange

Antenna Challenge founder. "I hope you give me a call this year with 
your very own strange antenna. Now let's play radio!"
