If anyone is concerned about any losses from the tree itself, (IMHO
depending on type of tree and time of the year) why not hang a 3 or 4 wire
cage around the tree and feed it.  In fact if the trunk is clean and fairly
straight this could be done with a single rope over a top branch to pull up
the cage.  Most studies I have read on cages point out that it is the cage
itself radiates most of the RF.

Just a thought.
