Some years ago experiments have be done using trees as antennas. Where
can I find references about ? Do fellows here known about the results ?

Seems like I remember an article in the 70's in 73 magazine (what else?)
about this very subject. I don't have time to look back thru my old mags., but
I bet the results indicated trees don't work well as antennas. If they did, a
lot more hams would be using them. I don't think I have ever had a contact
with someone using a tree.

Maybe we can open a new branch of science, and solve some knotty problems.

Please, don't say "What a sap!". This is serious: we've got a trunkful of
knowledge here in the group, and we can put the crown on this whole idea.

I'm not just barking at the moon.

Tough finding many different tree species in OK. But everyone enjoys OK's wide
open spaces.
