In talking with Chris, KD4DTS on a local UHF repeater, he related an
interesting tower installation:
Apparently an enterprising ham decided that it was easier and cheaper to
dispense with all that fuss of pouring concrete for a base, guy anchors,
guys, guy tensioning, and heck with all those middle sections of tower
when there are perfectly good supports in his yard.
He mounted his vertical antenna by lashing a top section of Rohn 25 in a
pine tree with wire ties.
