[TowerTalk] 80M antenna challenge

[Artek Manuals]

Steve

Tried looking at your property but your "official" address is an 
industrial park ????

For starters How big is your property?

How tall are the trees

What kind of 80M operating are you invisioning. Rag Chew  or DX, Casual 
or Contesting ...etrc etc

The XYL would be surprised I think , at how quickly bare #14 wire 
becomes nearly invisible after a year

Maybe the vertical goes on the back side of the tree out her line of 
vision??? Radials get burried

How about a real address so we can look at the property on Google

I have a local ham buddy who is home owner association limited and you 
would be amazed at the antennas he has in the trees for 160-6 including 
a 3 element 6 mtr beam at 30 feet. In a grove of trees and fully rotatable.
