Landover - unequaled parody. (Yeah, I know it's been here before.)
This site cracked me up for hours. Thin skinned Christians should ignore this one.
And a bonus... The coveted Flying Pig ZAPPER Certificate!

I'm a relatively new Ham (assigned KF4KSM in 1996), but I'm even newer
at HTML. Be patient with me, make suggestions and check back often! I love to tinker, build "Manhattan Style" (very ugly the way I do it!)
projects, and experiment with stealth antennas. I operate almost 99% CW
and almost always at QRP power, 5 watts or less. I also enjoy chasing DX, and 30 meters is my favorite band. My "main"
rig is an Elecraft K2
, but I also use various homebrew concoctions. I am further challenged by
living in a "deed restricted" sub-division
so stealth antenna experiments have become a passion. The fun right now is the 2006 RFTB (Run for the Bacon) sprints sponsored by the Flying Pigs.
Please give me a shout if you hear me on the air (I'll do my best to
match your CW speed up to about 30 wpm), or on the computer via AIM,
screen-name "AF4PSmac". (My typing is worse than my CW, ask anybody!)

My UGLY Multipig#4 construction pics (despite the classy "For Sale" sign it's mounted on) probably aren't worth posting, so just look at the one below.
Here is an interesting portable (backpacking) VERTICAL antenna called the PAC-12. Here is a WONDERFUL source for portable (and other kinds) antlers (thanks to Mike W9WIS!) USMC FIELD ANT MANUAL More Antenna 'speriments (recent "Bacon Bits" article) HERE. Update on the radial array HERE.
