[IRCA] An idea for an Antenna

["Ira Elbert New, III" <ien3@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was driving home to see my folks the other day in South Georgia and I kept 
driving by fields with the pivoting irrigation systems in them. Y' know the 
ones that are a couple of hundred feet long, they pivot around a central 
point and they're supported by struts on wheels so they can rotate? 
Well...what if you could build one out of PVC and run a wire the entire 
length of it and use it as a Beverage Antenna? You could just rotate it and 
not have run wire in different directions. Surely I'm not the only one who 
has ever thought of this idea. Of course, you would have to have lots of 
flat land to put it on, but I think it would work. Am I crazy or what?!? 
Perhaps one day when I win the lottery...

Bert

P.S. Things are kind of slow here DX wise in case you can't tell... except 
for the Buffalo station here tonight.
