  Subject: portable antenna instillation


  I plan to set up a portable antenna in a rare county of Idaho this
  summer for  some relaxation while in the mountains throughout May to
  September.  I most likely will use a g5rv with a tuner to reach all
  bands of planned operation.  It will be in an inverted vee
  configuration.  

  I am looking for good suggestions for getting the apex of the antenna
  as high as possible in mainly lodgepole  pines.  The trees are mostly
  over 100 feet in eighth and I hope to get a line as high as possible in
  the trees.  I am not confident  that I or my wife will be  able to do
  this with a bow and arrow so was considering a sling shot or something
  and spooling the leader line  from a stationary fishing real or
  something.  Once the  leader is up I hope to pull heavier lines over the
  tree branch and finally hoist the antenna.  

  Ok now give me some feedback on this and I will pick the best solution
  that comes along.  I need to get parts and pieces before memorial day 
  along with other items like food batteries fishing licence tackle soap
  and such grin.  

  Thank you!
