Marvin, not a great photo. I have a rope between two trees with a small piece of of irrigation tubing that slides on the rope. The antenna is just tied to the irrigation tubing. Only need to lower one end of the rope and the antenna slides down for access.


This is the Craigslist antenna I salvaged. The long element was cut short and the coax connector was smoked by lightning. I used two of the radials and added 8" to each to get the desired length.


Fiberglass flagpole inside. Then I drilled holes for the screws.

I have a two or three Saturdays recording somewhere. It was a treat to get the Tuesday test.
