traps, wires and para cord

[Alex Fraser]

I had an 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.

I ordered some monofilament line and 500' of para cord.   I'm doing 
better this year as I usually wait till it's too cold out to work 
comfortably.  I hope that won't effect the pleasure I get from the 
signals....
