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

[N3QHC]

Perhaps K9DOG should get one - lol.  Wish BB&B coupon, that is $16.00.  Let
me know how well it works - maybe I will mosey up to Annapolis to get one.

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This toy is originally made to shoot tennis ball for teaching/ playing with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.
