...Hmm. Now, if you could figure a way to use 'kudzoo'(sp)...
'Doc Yeah, kudzu could have some advantages. Lots of it available, and you'd probably end up with a dense-fractal design. It'd have the disadvantage of de-tuning itself every day or so, due to the rapid growth, unless you transmit with enough power to burn off the growing tips. Lends a new meaning to "pruning your antenna". The three rules of growing kudzu: - Although it's capable of growing on solid concrete, it'll do somewhat better if there's at least a little soil in the mix. - Always plant kudzu at night, by the dark of the moon. Otherwise, your neighbors might figure out what you're doing, and start throwing rocks at you. - Fertilization is not required. However, the kutzu vines will definitely appreciate having the bottoms of the smaller leaves lubricated with 10W40 motor oil - this reduces abrasion and chafing when the vines grow rapidly across the ground.
