So I was  out to dinner with the woman friend last night, and she
mentions that she  has an artist friend doing something with trees as
antennas. Apparently the  guy that founded Muzak back in the 1930s
invented some sort of thing for  the Signal Corps that allowed trees to
be used as antennas. I am to find  out about the connection, and what
the gizmo actually was (they make us  guys do the weirdest things,
don't they?).

That is all the info I  have. Normally, trees are lousy antennas, so
maybe his gizmo was a way of  hanging an antenna in a tree or
something.

Any  ideas?

I recall this being talked about many years ago. Was it not in Nam that  they 
tried trees as antenna ? Did it not involve a large loading coils around  the 
base of the tree ? 
 

All a long time ago.
