Here are a few pix. Note the perfectly aligned GP-9 antenna. It is seen about 30 feet away from the Television Antenna (which was obviously installed by a professional).

Long wire is now sloper. Ice and snow broke it off the far end. Karma says now is the time for me to hook it to that tree I had denuded about another 60 feet away. Now, how to climb up a 45 foot tall tree, drill 1 inch hold through trunk, and put in large eyebolt. Ok, maybe 1/2 inch hole. Anyway. ladder won't reach that high. Sigh.

[K7SGS]

Bummer deal!! Need some climbing boots and a chain saw.... Oh and a guy to do it!!

[K7UND]

How high do you need to go and can you drive up to the tree? I have a bucket truck that goes up around 25'.

25 feet is not high enough. Also, you can't drive anywhere near that tree until it has stopped raining for at least a month. But if you had one that would go 50 feet, now THAT would be COOL! Or even 45 feet. And I have plenty of property on which you could store your vehical.

Looks like I will re-attach the long wire to my barn this weekend, unless for some reason I have a crazy burst of superhuman strength and resolve on Saturday. But probably not going to happen.
