I use a arborists throwing bag and slickline. All fits in a small bag a bit larger than a softball. With a little (very little) practice I can easily put a line up 50ft or more. The slickline is fine to haul up a temporary antenna as well like an end fed so no additional messenger line required. Much more compact that a fishing rods etc for mobile use.
I use the same setup to haul up heavier ropes with a survival saw to remove limbs that grow out near my home dipole. Works great for trimming limbs much higher than my pole saw can reach. I've taken down 6"+ sized limbs this way. 73 jim ab3cv ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
