Unfortunately, you are unlikely to do any better than this with the antenna location you described. Time to buy a house, with no tall trees nearby. (You may already have heard that time-nuttiness can be expensive.... ;-)
Actually, what you want is an isolated mountain top of solid granite connected to a big pluton below, with a nice drilled anchor. Your laboratory/lair can be in a cave below the mountain top.
Being on top of a tall mountain also reduces the effect of atmospheric effects, but will increase the solid earth tides (and, of course, you are closer to the moon and sun).
I wonder if being on top of a dormant volcano (e.g. Mt. Waialeale on Kauai) would be stable. An active volcano (Mauna Kea/Mauna Loa) is going to be moving around a lot. Tahiti, perhaps? Nice pleasant weather. Mt. Roriama in Venezuela appears to be well above the surroundings, but is quite flat on top, so you'd need a structure to get your choke ring antenna up high enough. Close to the equator too.
As the previous poster pointed out, serious time-nuttery can get expensive. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
