Why pay $20,000 for a commercial link to run your television station when a
$10 kitchen wok from the Warehouse is just as effective?

The BBC used an aluminium saucepan blank in the construction of a
temporary televison transmitter aerial in the 1950s and I have used a
dustbin lid as a parabolic reflector for recording birdsong.

Now what can I make with that empty washing up liquid bottle....?

Spent 1/2 hour this morning searching google.
None are the "Ken Jones" designed wok antenna.
Maybe too insignificant for google I guess...
Yahoo neither...

Googling for (wok antenna zealand) got a number of interesting hits.

Not legal for a commercial TV station in th US. Used 7 GHz STL
equipment was under $5,000 US the last time I looked. Sometimes 11 GHz
CARS band equipment can be used, as well. WACX in Orange City/ Orlando
has two 7 GHz and one 11 GHz systems in use.
