quote from my mate on the subject earlier today:
"why dont you just put it in a tree?"
Yer thats actually gonna be way easier -
I only have to transport a ladder, not a huge mast and mother nature has already made it for me.
Il have a look for a suitable timber specimen next time im out there
Changes the plan a bit tho - I need to support a 12v battery and solar panel somehow
also my magnetic wire twanga antennas will need some encouragement to stick to a tree
I do like the discreet element of using a tree rather than a very obvious steel tower
May prevent theft and/or vandals, also makes it harder for :dimmock: to find.....
