Suggest you try a fishing pole. I used a zebco casting rod I bought
new for my wife. Now my favorite antenna pole.
I put my L up over 50' this way. Use 6 pound test line. Heaver line
weights too much. even 4 is better. Get a large washer. 2" or so.
Tie it on. cast up . If you miss your spot let the washer fall to the
ground. Do not reel back thru the tree. Cut off washer. reel back and
tie on and try again. The washer weights enough so it doesn't get
caught easily in trees. It goes so far be careful you do not damage
others cars or homes. It never broke off. When you get your spot tie
on Thin nylon cord and reel it back. Then a larger rope. The washer
rolls as it falls preventing tangling. Try it in a shorter tree for
practice. fishing sinkers do not work well, they wrap around
branches.
