End Snip I would like to reiterate Steve's note. I have on many occasions tied a heavy item onto a piece of rope, swung it around like a cowboy using a lassoo and then let her rip up into a tree. Unfortunately, the tree assumed it was under a terrorist attack and took defensive action by intercepting my salvo and swung into action by deflecting my salvo and returning fire using my missile. The accuracy of the tree is a truly amazing event to witness, unfortunately, I was not attired in appropriate gear (read hard hat) so after I took extreme evasive action I was able to escape with only minor injuries to my hide and my pride. The support from witnessing Hams (hilarious laughter) was gratifying...(:-(( So do please be careful about selecting a way to get the antenna up in the tree. Look up vk4fd in QRZ.COM and you will see how I have avoided a recurrence of my past indiscretions with antennas. 73's and enjoy a great radio Gary VK4FD Sent via BlackBerry® from Telstra ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
