Well a pic now would be unpainted and nothing to post, if I do indeed paint one I will post for you to see (or not if I do it well) :biggrin:

I was thinking about doing some spray can camo painting of a tree top mounted antenna, I'm sure I'm not the first to have this idea, could this hurt the signal any :confused:

Kinda reminds me of a old Pyramid antenna, it might even be there HIGH POWER model, it was rated @ 25watts :drool:

Thanks for the reply, funny you listed the astroplane, I've been thinking about them and the starduster, both were popular back in the 70's when I was big into this, funny though, people are still arguing over which is best, in 30+ yrs I would have guessed it would have been settled :bdh...
