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!
