   Steve,
   What is your opinion of a Colorado Blue Spruce?  (Mine is about 30 ft.
high.)  Is there a way to install beams without ruining the
value/appearence of the tree (thinking down the road when I'd sell this
place)?  I presently use my spruce to hang a 6M dipole vertically and as
an endpoint for my G5RV.
   Thanks for your insight!

                                                        Mary-Frances
