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?

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....?

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...

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.
