KICKER: ANTENNAS GO RIGHT TO THIS YL'S HEAD
NEIL/ANCHOR: What happens when a really great antenna goes right to your
head? Forget quarter-wave monopoles and half-wave dipoles. Now we have
the head-turning, head-topping full wave-of-hair vertical. That's just
what folks at Hamvention got to see this year in Xenia, Ohio. Beneath
this towering installation of over-the-top scalp decor was Kristen
Andrews, KB3OQV, of Atwater, Ohio. Kristen was sporting her annual
radio-themed coiffure, a bright blonde sculpture of hair, and ham
hardware, that was anchored less by guy wires, and more by gobs of hair
gel.
The 5/8 wavelength vertical, which sits on a magnetic base, actually
works! With a mini antenna as her crowning glory, Kristen didn't
complain once about signal loss, or for that matter, even about hair
loss. She told one local newspaper she has been Hamvention's very own
Antenna Hair Girl since 2011, when the convention was still taking place
in its previous location. Ah, but why split hairs over the change of
venue? Perhaps while there, she'd simply taken the name of HAIR-A Arena
to heart. Or head.
