Ooopps, sorry about the previous post.
I was looking for real world experiences on how severe the problem is when an
insulated antenna wire touches a tree limb.
I have an 80 meter antenna that is touching one tree trunk yet the antenna
(horizontal loop) seems to work fine. The 160 m antenna I'm working on is an
inverted L. Toward the far end of the horizontal run, it will contact a 1 inch
tree limb. I'm just wondering if I'm going to encounter major problems.
Installation complexeties make it difficult/unwise to try to get the antenna
above
that limb, and I'd prefer not to lower the antenna to avoid the limb since I
want to keep the antenna as high as possible.
73s,
Evan
