[TowerTalk] Wire antenna in trees?

[Patrick Greenlee]

Depending on the insulation on your wire and the position on the wire, 
voltage node (peak or null) and power delivered to the antenna, you 
might find RF going to the contacted vegetation.

Any chance you might be able to do a little pruning and avoid antenna to 
tree contact?
