Hi,For me the effect the trees have is purely academic. I live in the northern Michigan forests. I am surrounded and even protected by the trees. My antennas are *in* the trees. I'm sure the trees have some effect. There is nothing I can do but operate anyway. If the tree studies find that radio is impossible in the presence of trees I suppose I'll have to find a different hobby. Meanwhile I'll keep on keeping on.
