Wire Antennas and Foliage

[VK2CSW]

I am not sure pruning would be helpful, as then there would be no longer be much support

Callistemons are not substantial trees, on the whole. I suppose it wont take a lot to give it a go, once the toroids and capacitors for the 49:1 balun turn up.

Actually, as I type I realise that there is a 20m dipole I built for some portable work that is languishing in a crate. Maybe I could press that into service as an experimental antenna...
