[Elecraft] Antenna Launcher

[jpk5lad at cox.net]

Hi Don --
If you want to build an antenna launcher like the antenna 
bazooka or spud gun, check the Joplin ARC website at:
<http://www.joplin-arc.org/pages/antennalauncher.html>

They sell a kit for $35 or $40 to build one using heavy 
PVC tubing pieces.  Looks to be pretty neat and not too 
costly.  Also using air pressure instead some exploding 
propellent makes it safer.

They've even got a video showing the unit in operation.  I 
saw these at the Joplin Hamfest in August.

What was the tennis ball launcher used.  I think you gents 
called it an antenna bazooka or similar.  I need to make 
one of those for putting up my loop.

Where can I find directions.

Thanks in advance
