antenna rope pulled through a tree in the front yard. Over the
years it pulled through the branches and my antennas got lower
and lower. I used my sling shot/fishing reel to shoot some
fishing line over the tree so I could pull some rope over the
tree much higher up. I then pulled the old rope down so I
could pull it back through the top of the tree. Well the
fishing line snapped as I was pulling it up. Bummer, I guess
6# monofilament is too weak so I've ordered some 20# line. I
got permission from a neighbor to use one of his trees in the
back yard. When I'm finished I hope to have some dipoles on
the lower bands and much higher up in the sky. <br class="">

this year as I usually wait till it's too cold out to work

the signals....</font><br class="">
