[Antennas] Antennas in trees.

[Eddy]

My buddy wb6rvr bought a launcher years ago that used hairspray for the propellent....we discovered it was way too volatile and scary. Norm modified his launcher to use compressed air and he now can fire a line easily over 100+ feet with lot'sa height to spare!

At 90' these launchers are the only thing that will work......

Good luck

Thanks Ken;
   Looks like black dacron looks like the best way to go.

Thanks everyone for the ideas.  I appreciate every single idea.
