[TowerTalk] LINE FOR tree strung dipoles

[Michael Ryan]

No doubt due to the state of the economy and the real estate market, not to
mention the fact the some folks are cutting back on expenses, such as those
used to support dipoles, they are indeed using THHN wiring, or common house
wiring.  Trouble is they are using this wiring while it is STILL WITHIN the
vacant house next door.  Makes for a very stealthy antenna.  - Mike

I can see it now -- just like the stories of copper plumbing being  
taken from vacant houses, shortly we'll be reading in the newspapers  
about double-hung windows disappearing from houses in neighborhoods  
near active low-band operators....
