Open fields have their downside too. My house and tower are on what
was a cornfield. Every tree there I paid for. It's nice not hassling
with trees for the tower, but supporting wires is a problem. I run a
600 ft Beverage acorss an open field, attached to the tower on one end,
and a "weed tree" on the other. I use 10 ft PVC pipe sections to
support it along its length.
