When you put the pulley up at the top of pine tree make sure it is a good
quality one and test the uphaul line on it to make sure that everything is
sized right and the line under load can't jam between the pulley sheave and
the pulley housing.
I've found that the antenna system if tethered hig

John: Me too - the point is, if the trimmers are there anyway, extra cost is
small to zero.
Used a small length of chain, w/ poly tubing over it to spare the pine limb and
a shackle to close the loop - small pulley with marine rope. Did this after
our Rita scare 3-1/2 years ago; now I c
I had the tree trimmers do that 20 years ago, its still up there.
I don't use that tree to hold an antenna up anymore, but the pulley and rope
are still there.
Worked very well.

There should be 3 SO-239 connectors: 2 for the SoB-10 and 1 for the antenna.
There should be and extra switch usually mounted near the lower right hand
corner of the front panel.

Hi John I used a Eucalyptus tree for an antenna support while living in
an apartment while I was going through the big "D" in the 90's.
Here is my writeup which may give you some ideas.

Use twice as much rope. It's still cheaper than a climber and much safer.
Get one rope up and over the high limb first. (Slingshot/fishing reel method
or your choice. This one is to get the pulley up where it's needed.)
Attach a pulley by its swivel to one end. Put second rope through pulley

John,
Forget trying to cast a weight over a limb with a rod and reel. That
combination is designed for distance, not height. It will take many
tries to get a good placement, if you ever do.
The combination of a wrist sling-shot and an spinning reel will do the
trick far more easily and precis
Hi John,
Are the bases of your trees located in dense undergrowth / bush...? If not,
then read on...
Procure a decent fishing pole / spincast reel (you probably already own one
anyway, or know someone who does). Next, tie a good weight to the end of the
line (I've used discarded automobile manual
I am going to need to have some tree work done before long.? At the present

Does anybody know if the DX100B was planned to be used with a SSB adaptor
sometime in the future by Heath? The one I have has a fuse installed to power
a 12 volt xfmr for the PTT, and it is in a hole that is obviously punched by
Heath for an SO239. There is another SO239 installed near the no
