[SEDXC] Wooded area ant inst help

[Frank T Brady]

Greetings
I relocated to Woodstock GA from Indy in Nov.  I'm hoping to get 
acquainted with (preferably local) ham(s) with experience putting 
antennas into high trees in densely wooded areas.  I've used a sling 
shot, considerable planning, and a few days effort to get an 
approximately 100 foot line from my 3rd floor apt balcony to the 
vicinity of the most convenient large tree in the woods behind my apt 
bldg.  I also got a line over one of the branches on that tree.  I'm now 
taking a breather.

This project is only to test:
     1) Whether or not a woods wire reduces the awful interference from 
lans etc in my bldg that I'm picking up on my (extremely stealthy) attic 
fan dipole.
    2)  How well I can operate on 80m (and 160 if possible).
    3)  Verify that my stealth cover story is successful (see below)

When/if the experiment confirms my hopes, I would like to discuss 
methods and options with someone first over the land line and then 
eyeball if acceptable.

My cover for the stealth woods antenna (which I've already had to use 
with a neighbor who wondered why I was in the woods), is that I'm 
putting up a bird house so my wife and I can photograph the spring 
tenants of the birdhouse.  If necessary, I also plan to say the line 
going from my balcony is to precisely position the bird house in case 
spring foliage begins to obscure the viewing window. 

Looking forward to meeting adventurous local(s).
