Hmmm, don't see much these days on this 100 year old concept:

all kinds and all heights, growing anywhere --- are nature's own
wireless towers and antenna combined."

Perhaps wire is cheap these days so there is little practicality left
to his idea?

I think my dad's old Swan 500 could load up into a rusty nail in a pine
tree.
