VHF Antenna & Moon

Mmm, it makes a good if amateurish (heh) picture.
All that new copper gleaming in the sun, the mysterious curve of the feed line, the up-and-out-there camera angle, and then the moon... the moon just happened to be in the right spot.  Not bad for a little bit of water pipe and some fence-top rail.  It'll hit a repeater thirty miles away.  Click to embiggen.  This shot, simple as it is, deserves a closer look.

If you want one of your very own, you can find it here.  If you're wondering how such an unusual antenna design functions, Wikipedia has the answer.  Disclaimer: No Zeppelins were ignited or otherwise harmed in the construction of this device.
