I've done a couple. In once case I used a strap around the tree and put
springs on it so that it could expand as the tree grew (had teeth on the
mount so it wouldn't twist). In another case I just use long lag bolts and
treat it like any other wooden pole. I don't go over half way up the tree
though, too much of a change in angle when the wind blows.

Are you thinking a 900mhz PtP or throwing up a 900 ap with su and hooking
up others too? Have you thought about tree mount or small tower? Either
might be cheaper than 900 to get the link.

What is the absolute lowest cost 900 mhz stuff out there?
We JUST got an AP functional (as in, powered up, antenna raised) at a
new customer's site, and his neighbor was over and wants broadband...
ASAP.
The problem is, that to the south of this site is up the hillside into
the tree line. The west and north are open and wheat fields
I only need to go only 3-4 miles, but some areas will have a quarter
mile or more of pine trees to go through the tops. North East Oregon
