Wow, the obvious answer went right over my head. Looking at your subject line I was thinking more along the lines of a Tilted Bi-Polar Chicken that had wind from eating moldy corn or something worse. That would be a TBPC antenna. -- Telamon Ventura, California |

I know there - is a dead chicken in here somewhere ************************************************** *********************************** I was all set to use a 6' solid brass spike into the Earth, but then I remembered your recommendation. I ditched the 6' solid brass rod and used some nylon strapping to secure a whole uncooked chicken to the brick chimney. I did it in the rain, so I had to work quick. When I had the chicken strapped on, I ran the receiving wire before I connected the ground strap from the balun to the chicken. Just as I was hooking the ground strap up from the balun to the chicken, the receiving wire got hit by lighting. It fried the chicken and blew me off the roof. I landed flat on my back and coughed up my Viagra. I need to get back up on the roof and try again. Will a cooked chicken work as good as a raw one ??? Michael |
