Steve Galchutt brought this version of the "spud gun" (Pneumatic Launcher) to our Colorado QRP Club meeting. It was built for him by his friend John Evans (N0HJ) as described in the March '09 issue of the American Radio Relay League's QST publication. Amateur radio operators use all kinds of devices to launch antennas over trees and other obsticles.

At http://www.youtube.com/user/w0cqc we have more videos of Steve, his goats, and antennas!

Here's my personal web page about antennas:
