New low profile antenna

[Makocross]

This is the new low profile antenna I built. I have been working on this for years and I finally got the last parts I needed. HCloud provided a flux capacitor and I finally tracked down a bipolar inversion coil from Tesla(not the car, Nicolas). You can see I am drawing power from the grid(thanks FPL), it takes about eleventy two billion watts. It is specifically mounted on the VX for a reason, this antenna picks up thoughts from other VXers around the world.
First I tried PK on a wave skip to Oz. The only problem was it was upside down, the good news was he was finally driving on the correct side of the road. Next I tried Dub, but the readout said no one in their right mind would live in that state. I swung the antenna to Kat, but it wouldn't connect, something about you actually have to have a VX. So I thought JoJo has more than one VX so the connection should be very strong. Big mistake, images of VX's and "ladies" we're being burned into my memory. Florida Power and Light (which was provided power unknowingly) started to pulse and make funny noises. The flux capacitor burned and twisted into a smiley face and died. The Tesla bipolar inversion coil vaporized.
I quess the moral of this story is don't try to make your VX into an interstellar mind reading machine. I will have to figure out something else to do with all that aluminum on top of my VX

There was some throbbing in San Diego...

...and certain "ladies" reported some tingles

I don't know if this guy's got you beat or not, but he sure does have some really fancy high tech equipment there...

I think your problem must have been an earth leak 'cause I dreamt of skimpily clad ladies draped over my VX last night.
There was some throbbing and tingling going on here as well.
Looks like we had a 3 way connection.

So, I figured out a new use of all that metal on top of my Vehicross. It fits my Dagger Blackwater II like it was made for it. It has a foam roller on the end so I can pick up one end and place it on the roller, then pick up the other end and push it up on top. There is a bar that hooks into the front receiver hitch and supports part of the weight of the kayak and provides one of the locks for it. It does make it a little hard to check under the hood, but I cut a piece of wood to prop it open when the kayak is on top. Luckily my Vehicross is one that doesn't burn oil. It may look like overkill but I needed a rack that would last for thousands of miles. I tow the Vehicross on a trailer behind my motorhome, so it has to be a lot stronger than just carrying down to the local pond.
Right now, I am in New York and so far so good. The only trouble is it is too cold or windy to use the kayak.

This is how I roll my kayak up on the rack. Since my hernia operation I am limited to 65lbs in lifting. Kayak weighs 80lbs. Necessity is the mother of invention.

Had much the same setup when I rowed a Alden 18, rigged single on heavy water in the Puget Sound. It topped out at 98 pounds. I hauled it around on top a camper shell on a F150.
