[Elecraft] RF in the Trees

Ralph is the ham I was referring to.  Now you have as much as I am 
aware of.  I forgot that Ralph wound a torus around the tree 
base.  He used an old oak which brings song to mind "tie a yellow 
ribbon around that ole oak tree...".

The question about whether the tree feels the electrical field gets 
into the whole earth realm of whether flora feel as much a fauna?  I 
would say, "yes".  The tree probably feels "excited with an 
electrifying experience!" :-D

Long term effects on the health of a tree is probably 
unknown.  Mankind generally does not have much empathy for the plant 
world.  We grow it and we harvest it for food or shelter.
