What's CB radio? (I actually know the answer, I listen to 19 when on the road again)

Antenna.. I feed my TS-2000 to it's partner a KAT-1 Tuner, (NOTE: I SUSPECT! (key word) that several competing tuners just might work identically) and that feeds a length of wire 100' Stranded copper, still insulated, the other end of this is a cotton or nylon "rope" and the other end of that is.. Usually, a 2 pound concrete cylinder (Take a Crystal Light "Can" drink the drink. fill with concrete and a eye bolt with nut, let harden)

I toss the weight over tree limbs "David V/S Golaith" style (or "shot put" style on lower limbs) and if needed add more weight (only is there is no "Center tree"

Seems to do well.

You could arrow or pneumatic launch it over the trees too if you wish
