Greetings All !
Here is what I use to install my "high-in-the-trees" wire antennas.

This super sling-shot will launch a 3/4" pipe-elbow easily over the top of a
150-foot tall tree while hauling a trailing fish-leader line behind it.
The BIG problem for me when working alone is FINDING the 'weight' after
it lands in the woods. Some International-Orange paint on the weight would
help me find it I suppose...
My 160-meter Half-Square supported by two tall Cottonwood Trees appears
to enjoy participating in working DX for me...

ps - my wife authorized the expense of this antenna-tool after deciding I was
too old to continue climbing trees... db
