Topband: Trees And RF Poem

[Wes Attaway (N5WA)]

Herb..... That is a good poem.  Well done.

All of my antennas are now wires in trees.  Trees are good.

I may reprint that poem in fancy type and hang it on my wall.

Subject: Topband: Trees And RF Poem

With some credit to Joyce Kilmer (1886-1918) "Trees" I ad the following:

I think that I shall never see     
A metal tower as lovely as a tree.     
     
A tree whose is high at least     
For antennas to break the pile up beast     
     
A tree that looks out for hams all day            
working DX for which they pray;     
     
A tree that may in summer wear     
Many wires in the air;     
     
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;     
Without reducing my antenna gain.     
     
Such poems are made by fools like me,     
But only hams know how to use a tree.    

Cheers,

Herb Schoenbohm, KV4FZ

P.S. My name in German means "Beautiful Tree".....the "bohm" is the same 
as "baum" in NE Germany so I just could not resist.
