[OKDXA] BIZARRE & UNBELIEVEABLE

[K8fu at aol.com]

Don't know how many of you get CQ but there is an  article this month that 
blew my knickers in a twist.
 
It seems a couple Austrian scientists have invented a  micro thin polymer 
sheeting that makes what ever it covers totally invisible. I  mean totally.
 
As u can imagine the military applications immediately  took precedence. They 
covered a German fighter plane with this film and it made  10 trips into 
Israel without ever being detected. There would have been many  more but after the 
last flight the pilot forgot where he parked the plane  and to this day it 
has yet to be located. No kidding read the article and fall  on the floor 
laughing too.
 
They next wondered if there could be a more mundane  application so they 
decided to totally cloak a major East Coast contest station  consisting of 10 
towers, 8 rotators,10 beverages, and 8 spotting  verticals.
 
The compliment of antennas include 4 full size  verts on 160....
8 elements on 4 booms on  80..............
8 elements on 2 booms on  40...............
42 elements on 8 booms on  20..................
60 elements on 14 booms on  15................
80 elements on 20 booms on  10.............
 
They provide as proof a pictorial display of a pasture  with nary an 
insulator visible...........
 
Now after all is said and done it should be noted that  this article appears 
in the April issue and the Austrian inventors address is  listed to be the hq 
of CQ mag in Hicksville, NY...........
 
While this has to be the greatest tongue in cheek  article to appear in a 
national ham radio publication, in my opinion, it clearly  sends a clear message 
to housing assn's and CC&R's...........    BITE ME....................
