[Elecraft] Portable Wire Antenna Weight

[Geoffrey Mackenzie-Kennedy]

FWIW my favourite method to place a line in a tree makes use of a strong but 
light fibreglass pole almost 10m in length, through which runs a drop line. 
It does takes longer to place a line than when using a missile system, about 
an hour to place a line at 100ft in a tall pine exactly where one wants it 
so not very useful when operating "portable". Because a tree's branches are 
used as hoist points for the pole on the way up, the pole must not weigh too 
much when placing a line in a tall pine, whose lower branches have long gone 
leaving short "branch stumps".
