Hi Tom. Been there-done that! I used a end fed zepp years back, and one
night I was on 20 working some DX, and my son came in and said the tree
was on fire. The feeders were touching a branch, and started a fire.
Also one time they got against the door jamb and burned a couple of
grooves in it. Those wires can start fires, thats fer sure!
