Topband: Trees And RF - Suggested Test

[Herb Schoenbohm]

To heck with the tests!

If I had a 120 foot tall tree in my backyard I would hang a 3 or 4 wire 
cage around it from top to bottom.  The tree would not bother you much 
but the cage sure would do its job in providing a good broadband and 
efficient radiator.  At RF the tree wet or dry  would have a minimal 
impact on the radiation pattern but do its job by supporting the 
radiation cage for you.
