Great. Some of my antennas are in the woods. Dark colored wire and relatively small wire can be pretty stealthy. The black rope sold by Ham Radio Outlet is pretty strong and also quite stealthy. Be careful with this rope strung over tree limbs though -- it can fray as the trees move in the wind, and will eventually break. My towers in the woods are painted a dull brown color, and I've wound black tape around the boom of my SteppIR. If you want to bury coax, go to Davis Buryflex. It's also OK to drape coax over to a tree and bring it down next to the trunk, or to use a short length of smaller coax to get down to the ground and then transition to larger coax for the rest of the run to minimize loss. 73, Jim K9YC ______________________________________________________________ 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
