The KØS Strange Antenna Challenge

Now here's one that should catch the attention of a lot of you. Erik Weaver N0EW sent along a note to tell us about the upcoming KØS Strange Antenna Challenge slated for Memorial Day weekend, May 24th to the 26th.

What is a strange antenna challenge you ask?
According to Erik, it's an event where antennas are not permitted to be constructed of wire or metal pipe. Rather, those taking part must use their imagination to design radiators that are un-traditional.

Erik says that past antennas have included such items as metal folding chairs, chicken wire, fences, ladders, and even a trampoline.

If this sound like a fun way to spend Memorial Day weekend, you can get more information on-line at www.n0ew.org/k0s/
