Cheap n Easy Dipole Supports

wrote:

Ive had my Dipole tween two trees for years now. Next door always
been rented and Mine has been there since the previous Owner let me
hang it up there. Well the recent renters Hacked the cord. And I
dont know the current owner. So I must do somthing in my yard.
Except I can only go into one corner and it slopes pretty quick down
about 8 feet at the end.

I can come up the fence about 15 feet to gain it back.

But what im looking for is a cheap way to hang the dipole end back up.

I have some room on the other tree to pull it back to make up the 15
feet I'd lose that way.

Thanks

Use the longest 2 X 4s or 2 X 6s you can find, and make an an A frame out of
them, with the bottom 2 to 3 ft wide. Bolt them to some stakes driven into
the ground next to the fence, and then stand up the A frame against the
fence. With luck, you should be able to get 20 ft or more, even if you need
to bolt a couple of 2 X 4s together to lengthen them.

Otherwise, you could do the same thing with an aluminum house ladder that
goes up to 30 or 40 ft, and use it to tie the antenna to.
