[Elecraft] Elecraft Antennas in trees

[Dan Barker]

... and, HOWEVER you get the ropes over the tree, they will someday fall. If
the location is a "good one", you may want to use it again. Rather than
trying to hit that perfect branch again, I always include an extra rope, for
after the fall.

The "extra rope" is a continuous loop that reaches the ground and does not
bear any weight. It is used simply to pull a new rope/antenna up after the
current one falls. It looks like I have three ropes over the branch, but one
holds the antenna and the other two are just both sides of the "backup"
loop.

I usually do my antenna launching in the winter when foilage is less, but
the things come down whenever they please. With a loop over each "good"
branch, I can pull up new rope/wire even in the middle of summer.
