Re: [IRCA] Super KAZ



Patrick, I hear your trepidation over heights.  Have you considered
alternate ways to launch wires to the apex?  At my DX cottage in Masset, I
have many trees 100' or more in height.  No way I ever want to climb
those.  A couple of years ago, I bought a sling shot antenna launcher which
has proven to be incredibly easy and useful in putting up several antennae
high up in the trees.  Just a thought...Walt Salmaniw, Victoria, BC
