Overview

An antenna base designed to work like Fisher Price Weebles do. Bottom heavy and right themselves, the idea is that it can be thrown to a high place and then easily recovered.


  • Possibly design the base only with a means to attach different types of antennae.
    • WiFi (omni only likely)
    • FM
  • Base should have a retrieval cable attached.
    • Depending on the thickness of the antenna wire, it might work for retrieval.

Progress

Physical prototype complete. I have a test-bed that I can now use to build and test a functioning prototype.
