If not for the brush, mine would be on the ground ! I use insulated wire
and route it over limbs, hang it with small cord under limbs etc. I do keep
them straight and at a fairly uniform heighth. If brush is causing Beverage
degradation at this QTH, its not enough to warrant clearing right of way !!
Only problems here are falling debris on them. I keep them a bit slack to
lessen chance of breakage.
