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.
Melting lead for weights
Bottom half: Weight glued to tennis ball
Upper half with antenna glued in
Completed
