**Special THANKS to those who helped me retrieve this
for our Chapter Newsletter. It had already been taken off the Web
due to lack of space by the owner. . .He graciously reapplied the
Cantenna especially for us. . .so viewing will only be for a short time.
SBE Members, Broadcast folks never cease to amaze me with their
attitudes to reach out to others to encourage growth and knowledge.
Credits given at the end of this article...makes one proud to be in SBE !!

THE 'CANTENNA' AT LAKE DOLORES
The Lake Dolores pirate station reported in the last CGC
Communicator newsletter attracted a web photojournalist who went
into the desert water park in search of a bootleg transmitting
antenna. While no DF bearings were taken, there appeared to be
a 5/8-wave FM-band ground plane antenna perched atop a water tank
that was painted to look like a giant Coke can! The antenna
itself was fastened to the tank ladder. Enjoy the views:
