Craving the Diablo! Recreating Smokey and the Bandit’s Classic Sandwich

Leave it to Kent Rollins to create – or would it be re-create? – the famous “Diablo Sandwich” – here is the link to the printable recipe – and don’t forget the Dr Pepper – I would put a layer of sliced jalapenos on the bottom bun first – just a little something to keep the meat company – but that’s just me . . .

Not What You Think : Crystal Palace Transmitter – The Phoenix Tower

When you say “Crystal Palace” here is what most folks think . . . The “Phoenix Tower”? Must be some part of the HFGCS – right? Not hardly . . .

Back when radio was king – you had the BBC World Service on shortwave – depending on which era you listened – one of these might ring a bell – YOU see what I did there – right?

When television became king – the BBC television service had the moniker ( always wanted to use that word in a post – LOL! ) “Crystal Palace” – and the transmission tower became known as the “Phoenix Tower” – Enjoy!

Loop On Ground Antenna – All 4 Parts – Start to Finish

Did several of these over the years – not this fancy – they were just a loop of wire – no isolation transformer – real temporary set up – camping weekend thing – and they actually work!

Don’t really have the physical layout to do this in this exact manner – but the thoughts – oh the thoughts concerning this and how to set it up here . . .

The other thing I want to try is two ground rods about 30 feet apart – one is the ground side ( or braid side of the coax ) and one is the feeding to the center conductor, Hmmm?

What do YOU think?? Feasible??

Anyway, here is a pretty good tutorial to get YOU started on the road to an inexpensive and ( for the cost ) a decent antenna . . .
