[K3CAL] Florida Family Dies while installing antenna for Ham Radio

[Jim Tetlow]

Very sad story. On a light note picked up an interesting "toy" yesterday at Bed Bath & Beyond. 
A small tennis ball launcher mechanical, ram powered with sling shot type band! $20 with ball. Will modify ball w/ 1oz shot and see how high it shoots the ball. Will post results. Not expecting any results comparable to air powered launcher, but might be suitable for lower antennas.
This toy is originally made to shoot tennis ball for teaching/ playing with dogs. Looks adaptable to installing spinning reel on it, if it would shoot at least 40 feet.
