[Elecraft] Portable Wire Antenna Weight

[Jim Miller]

I use a arborists throwing bag and slickline. All fits in a small bag a bit
larger than a softball. With a little (very little) practice I can easily
put a line up 50ft or more. The slickline is fine to haul up a temporary
antenna as well like an end fed so no additional messenger line required.
Much more compact that a fishing rods etc for mobile use.

I use the same setup to haul up heavier ropes with a survival saw to remove
limbs that grow out near my home dipole. Works great for trimming limbs much
higher than my pole saw can reach. I've taken down 6"+ sized limbs this way.
