Dave, This whole topic has been a sure sign of a 'slow news week'. Perhaps 
now that Yaesu has some news to report the rest of this nonsense about trees 
and about wire antennas will take it's place with winches and wenches.... on 
the trash heap.  '73, and Happy New Year.  - Mike

I've been lectured to that just putting up an antenna and trying it out is
not a good practice... one should first read and learn learn learn.

OK boys... Dec 2011 CQ p 66 K7SZ  ...wire vertical in the trees running
QRP...working DX successfully!!!

So much for tree attenuation worth noting -- I guess the jury is still out
on the other stuff...;-)

73,
Dave
