I think Mrs. Enzo will get ****ed. Hiding it out in the trees would be great.
Plus I don't know if there are any local ordinances regarding a mast.

Frank presented another problem. The damn Ground hogs, moles, squirrels, will
eat my coax.

Vinnie, Frank, pay attention. He is going to do a buried 150 ft coax
run to the tree, right? What's the velocity factor of RG8 or of the
coax he will use?

.78 or 78%

Do the math, how much of his 4w out will reach the
antenna?

2.9 watts


150 feet of RG-8 has 1.71 dB loss at 27 MHz, so the power at the other
end would be 2.7 watts. Not enough to quibble about except that line
loss has nothing to do with velocity factor.
