Some years ago experiments have be done using trees as antennas. Where can I find references about ? Do fellows here known about the results ? Claude If you feed it with fertilizers containing lots of metallic elements, you should end up with a tall metallic pole with built in radials (the roots). You should be able to gamma match it by placing a metallic spike at the appropriate height. You can trim the branches, however leaving them in place should provide a great deal more bandwidth. When you move, just cut down the tree, but save a few cuttings so that you can grow an antenna farm at the new location. With careful spacing, you might be able to produce some great arrays. I don't know about feeding them with open wire line, but surely Cecil with find a way. You might even be able to sell some of the antenna cuttings on e-bay!
