I have antennas on my head
Is it possible that I´m an alien from Outer space or am I just a mutant?
But at least I receive music from all over the world. |
In article ,
says... Is it possible that I´m an alien from Outer space or am I just a mutant? But at least I receive music from all over the world. What, simultaneously? That's gotta make for one whopper of a headache. ;-) Odd that you should mention antennas on one's head. I've seen a couple of hams mount an SO239 through the top of a hard hat, glue aluminum foil connected to the shield side on the inner surface, and attach a 2m or 440 flexi-whip to the topside for use with their handheld. It apparently works pretty well, but it's not something I would choose to do. -- Dr. Anton Squeegee, Director, Dutch Surrealist Plumbing Institute (Known to some as Bruce Lane, KC7GR) kyrrin a/t bluefeathertech d-o=t c&o&m Motorola Radio Programming & Service Available - http://www.bluefeathertech.com/rf.html "Quando Omni Flunkus Moritati" (Red Green) |

I've also seen more than a few folks put a GPS antenna inside a hat or cap, so that the only thing showing is the lead down to the GPS. It takes _all_ kinds, as the saying runs. -- Why would burglars need to look for a back door when they can climb in through the Windows? -- Norman L. DeForest |

I had a friend that I used to like to run around with. He always had some good
C & W music for me......... sometimes reception was better than others though. Bill |
