Why pay $20,000 for a commercial link to run your television station when a $10 kitchen wok from the Warehouse is just as effective?

Probably paid for in beer!
What? $20K for a tomato paste can and a pin diode? ;-)

The BBC used an aluminium saucepan blank in the construction of a temporary televison transmitter aerial in the 1950s and I have used a dustbin lid as a parabolic reflector for recording birdsong.
Now what can I make with that empty washing up liquid bottle....?

Is that effective only during daylight hours or do they "Wok around the clock"?

So where are all the details? Any link to that site?
"People wanted to know all the details about how to make their own, so it is now all publicly documented," he said.
Spent 1/2 hour this morning searching google. None are the "Ken Jones" designed wok antenna. Maybe too insignificant for google I guess... Yahoo neither...
Googling for (wok antenna zealand) got a number of interesting hits.

Not legal for a commercial TV station in th US. Used 7 GHz STL equipment was under $5,000 US the last time I looked. Sometimes 11 GHz CARS band equipment can be used, as well. WACX in Orange City/ Orlando has two 7 GHz and one 11 GHz systems in use.
Service to my country? Been there, Done that, and I've got my DD214 to
prove it.
