We were at the new BJ’s store in Lady Lake yesterday and I spotted the following 15 foot blow-up Halloween ghost figure on one of the Halloween display shelves across from the cash registers. 

I began thinking hmmmmm… could this be ‘repurposed’ to hold a dual-band Halloween Stealth Antenna?

·        Run a #16 wire about 11 ft. long vertically up the back with tape, install a copper ground rod and feed with a RG8X coax for use as a stealth vertical 15-meter antenna and …............

·        Run a #16 wire dipole about 113-inch across the arms and center-feed with RG58 coax for a 6-meter dipole

 

Problems ….

·        Could only be used in October

·        Could NOT get the $100+ approval from my ‘domestic management’.  She thought it would be ‘tacky’ for some odd reason!

 

Oh well, another Rube Goldberg stealth antenna bites the dust!
