[Elecraft] Line into trees

[Dave Simmons]

FWIW, There are good instructions for a compressed air antenna launcher at
http://www.qsl.net/k5lxp/projects/Launcher/Launcher.html

I've built one and had a lot of success with it.  It can put a line over big
trees (100'+ sugar pines and redwoods) quite easily. 

It was also fun a Field Day on a 500 acre farm with a bag of peaches I had
to thin from my trees.   You'd be amazed how high and far they go.  If they
are too ripe, however, they tend to splatter.  Kids also liked it when we
launched about a quart of water, which makes a nice spray for hot summer
days.

Somewhere I've seen a design for a compressed air
tennis ball line throwing "gun", which looks like it
could be fun.
