Aha! So that's what they call it! I have to laugh because it exactly
fits my symptoms! Until now I didn't have a name for it. "Repurposing"
is a great term -- I think I'm going to use it as well!

You have my sympathy...
You have become infected with an advanced form of the Ham Radio Virus!

You will no longer be able to go to any store without seeing double.
Every thing on the shelves will have its intended purpose and some
"repurpose" involving antennas. Most of the time you will think no one
else considered such matters in the same light.

You will have visions of writing books like "One Hundred Ways to Load
a Ladder" or "Beach Umbrella Stealth Antennas".

Collecting bits and pieces of aluminum will present a storage problem.
One man's junk is another man's antenna parts.

The virus may become dormant from time to time but it will not go
away. There is no cure.
