Topband: Effect of trees- tree appreciation

[Greg Chartrand]

I love my trees. They have held up my 160 antennas at my QTH for the last 18 years. For them to make a significant impact on my ability to transmit, they would have to absorb at least 3db (750 watts). If any of them have absorbed that amount of power, I suspect they would have gone up in flaming glory long ago.  Obviously its less than 3 db and probably less than 1 db. I suspect I loose far more DB's in my Teflon like volcanic soil that the trees will ever contribute. In any case, THANK YOU TREES for being there for me!
