Hi Guys,

Absolutely AMAZING, isn't it...? 

People will go to such great lengths like that to get their wire creations supported on the wings of one of Mother Nature's "organic towers", whilst guys on other Reflectors condemn the use of trees as antenna supports due to their "lossiness"...!

I never could quite wrap my head around the claim that having a wire supported in a tree is a "...lossy" affair. Indeed, I only wish that my property here had MORE of them---and far TALLER than the existing ones, too!
