Add me to the list of those needing help.
My 160 meter dipole is installed, but the center is too low to perform as well
as it could.
We need to shoot a rope over a high tree near the center, lower the antenna
enough to tie
the rope to the feedpoint, and then pull it up higher.

Hi
Cathy,
I am interested both
in helping others put up antennas and receiving some help.
This past winter all but one of my wire antennas were
knocked down by falling trees, and I want to get them back
in the air. I have an antenna launcher but it is much
easier to string the wire through the trees if I have one or
two people helping me. Given the other projects that have
to take precedence, I think a target date for putting the
wire in the air would be September 1-15.
My goal is to get my 500 foot
horizontal loop reconfigured and to throw up a double
extended Zepp for 40 meters. I also have had such good
luck with my 135 foot OCFD that I want to put up another
oriented North-South.
