Re: [IRCA] Antennas
I have something similar. Mine is called a Greenlee Cablecaster. It
looks like a cross between a dart gun and a fishing reel. It was
actually designed for electricians who need to pull wire long distances
above suspended ceilings etc. You aim it, pull the trigger, and it
shoots a dart attached to 50 feet of monofilament line. You then attach
the wire to the dart, and reel it back in.
I've had it for a couple of years but never actually used it to put out
an antenna. I did make a few practice runs at Grayland by aiming it
over some small trees, and it worked quite well.
As I recall, I paid about $50 at Lowe's, but it should be available in
other places.

It is designed to let you launch antenna wires over trees or for long
distances. It has a fishing reel attached to let you reel it back in. It
appears to be based on one of those tennis ball launchers for exercising
your dog.
