Kenan-N6CCE and Mike-WK6O used a sling-shot with fishing
line to get the ends of the 80M antenna into the tree tops. You can see the yellow line
used to pull up the 80M antenna hanging from the top of 80-ft pine trees in the park. |

When the 80M antenna got snagged in a tree
in the middle of the park while pulling it into place, Kenan-N6CCE used a long pole to
free the snag. |
