I was thinking about trying a inverted v in the backyard attached to a
tree. I was going to make some kind of wooden insulator for the middle
and screw that into a tree as high up as I can get on a ladder.

I have a 4 foot drop or so on the back of the house compared to the
front. All my trees are in the back yard. Its sort of like a mini
forest. Would a inverted V still perform well if the top wasnt above my
house? I have vinyl siding so maybe I would be better off just keeping
the antenna indoors?

thanks

Good idea Jim, but I suggest a wrist rocket sling shot and a ball
bearing attached to a string, or your wire when you get the hang
of it. Beware of where it lands.

Once you get it up in the -top- of the tree the tuner needs to be
one you can trust.
