Prime Time TV Show to Include Amateur Radio

This from Shirley N2SKP:

Check out the the following link for info on a new prime time TV show (ABC) called Last Man Standing, Tuesday evenings, 8:00 p.m. and starring Tim Allen.  It’s apparently going to feature amateur radio as a part of the plot development beginning sometime in mid-January.  Link is:  http://www.arrl.org/news/em-ham-radio-in-hollywood-em-comedian-tim-allen-stars-as-radio-amateur-on-new-tv-show

Shootout: End-Fed Half Wave Vertical vs. 135′ OCF Dipole

On Tuesday, November 8th,  Stan WB2LQF brought his 31′ end fed half wave vertical to Tony W1ZMB’s house.  They compared the vertical to Tony’s 135′ OCF dipoles which were mounted high and in the clear.  Stan put his vertical on Tony’s backyard deck between the house, a bird feeder, and rising terrain.  The result were very interesting.  See for yourselves at:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWkpQ785Pjo
