[TowerTalk] wires in trees

[Tom Osborne]

Hi All

I'd rather have a wire high up in a tree than one down low that ISN"T in a 
tree.  I have 2 inverted V's up about 90 feet with the center in the tree's 
and they work fine.
I used to run a vertical cage in a tree.  I had 4 wires hangin down around 
the trunk, tied together at the top and bottom, and the top hat thrown in 
the branches of the tree.  It was a version of the old military vertical 
that ND7F (think that was his call) used to run.  Worked good and it was 
really broadbanded..  Someone had it written up in CQ years ago.  73
