I have a couple of tall skinny palm trees about 40' to 50' tall and I am
thinking about hanging the center of a diople from one of them like an
inverted V for 40 and 80 meters. Any one know if the sap or water
content of the palm tree is a problem? How do I attach the antenna to
the palm tree without killing it? It wouldn't seem good to drive a
spike into it and a tight band around the tree seems like it might be a
problem as it grows. I would like to rig a pulley near the top of the
tree and run a nylon line through it so that I could pull the center of
the dioples up and down without climbing the tree. Anyone have
experience with a "Palm Tree Tower"?
