Here is another approach to "wires in the tree" that I happened across this
Field Day.
I was riding my bicycle on Field Day Sunday morning and I came across the North
Kitsap Amateur Radio Club gang.
After introductions and the such, I noticed that their wire antennas were way
the heck up in some Douglas Firs.
Like 80-100 feet up. So I asked "How the heck did you get them so far up for
Field Day?"
Answer: Potato Gun
Only took several shots from an experienced cannonier and they were in business
with some very high wires.
Seems like there could be some home application here.
Cheers!
