For what its worth. Over here in the motherland they sell plastic foam rockets about a foot long, 2 in a pack, together with a catapult for about $10 equivalent. Jan, Alan and I had a fun couple of hours shooting the rocket, with fishing line attached, over the oak tree in my front garden to the evident amusement of my neighbors and passers by. Once we had the line over a bough at a decent height we used the fishing line to haul some string to haul some rope to haul the end of my trapped dipole over the tree. The other cool thing about the rockets is that they make a howling whistle as they descend which woke the local mutts up....They sell the rockets in Kellers - a toy shop in the fine City of Norwich - somewhat far from you over in the colonies. I'll try and post the brand etc..when I re discover the safe place I put them when we were done shooting.
Best regards -- Stephen Farthing G0XAR PS Is anyone going to Pacificon next month?. Jan, Alan and I shall be there _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
