[TowerTalk] antennas in the woods

> the bottom line is you do what you can and hope for the best.

You can ALWAYS do more.  The question is,

What difference in performance can you reasonably expect, for a
contemplated investment of additional time and money?

"Hope for the best?"

I think that's pretty fatalistic.  I don't want to make my antenna
decisions based on hope.  I trust science and actual experience
over hope.
