[K3PZN-List] Antenna Work

trust me - Pete has the technology to do this from the ground ... but the cold 
temps are an obvious obstacle right now.  


for getting modest heights a product known as Hyper-Dog works well -- it 
literally uses tennis balls that are launched by the sling shot.  if you obtain 
one of these, you will be ready when the temp is a bit milder.  ideally you can 
attach a fishing reel to one of these with hose clamps -- and that is all you 
need.  (plus some patience as nearly often the line gets into something below 
the tree, or in its lower branches).  


note for an 80m dipole I don't except a large difference for a something like 25 
vs 35 feet -- mainly in doubling height do you experience a larger difference. 
and it depends on your aim - whether to work USA and occasional DX versus trying 
to work VK and ZL.

I have an 80M dipole I would like to get in the air but my days of climbing 
trees and ladders are behind me. If anyone knows of someone local I could hire 
that does that type of work I would appreciate it if you could pass along their 
name.

Thanks
