It is the real deal.

Has my Loop Antenna project in forward motion.

Shot a golf ball over 60 foot tree with fishing line and then pulled the Dacron rope over with the fishing line.

However, the gun is not mine and the person who came to help had to leave due to work.

I am working at mentoring him to become an amateur radio operator.

Process will continue early next week.

I must think positive.

I am shooting for a multiband loop using ladder line to a DX Engineering tuning balun and a 12 foot run of coax to keep db loss down.

Probably 40 or 80 meters down to 10 and perhaps 6.

Although I will probably build a separate 6 meters.
