Hi Vic;
Your advice of launching a long wire into tree punched my "lets do
something" button. I think I'll take my K2 out to the park next week
and
try getting on the air with a tree vertical as you suggested. Twenty
meters should have some life in it and with this in mind, what form
would
this simple antenna system take? I have a KAT100 which I could take
along
to match it.
I have done this. I use a 40' piece of wire with nylon line tied to
the end. A monkey-fist around a tennis ball makes a dandy throwing-
thing to get the line over a tree branch. I then string out a 45'
piece of wire as a counterpoise. Works just dandy.
