    People never cease to amaze me(xortam will appreciate this)

    This guy is so desperate to get OTA HD(over the air high definition) signal he decides to use helium balloons to float up the antenna, LOL!

    I'm looking for a source of very light weight RG6 cable. Anybody have any pointers of particular manufacturers or brand names of this kind of cable to search for (or better yet, a pointer to an online source?) The reason I'm looking for this is that I'm going to try to float a very small...

    NOW that is desperation. *laughs*

    Course, what would WE do if our internet connection depended on something like that??

      LOL!
      My first thought this was some guy doing it for a laugh, but he's serious!
      Then when someone else responded "I've heard of radio hams using a bow and arrow to shoot a cable up into a tree..."

      And I used to wonder where the writers of Wile E Coyote got their ideas from!

        Good grief LOL

        Anyone here remember the Ktel (brand) "Pocket Fisherman"?

        Some ingenious nut decided that this was perfect (and rightfully so) to adapt it for use in casting a 20lbs fishing line across suspended ceilings so plenum cable could be pulled. It works a peach too and is marketed these days to the telecom industry specifically for this purpose.

          I thought it was Popiel's Pocket Fisherman? (yes, I have always been a night owl, and there was a time when nothing else was on.)
