Well, of course you'll get different
opinions from different people and this is just mine.� Some folks
think the antenna will set the tree on fire! I've had both insulated and bare wires in contact with limbs, leaves, etc.� Hard to do otherwise on my lot if you want an antenna of any length.� Sometimes the limbs or trunk will even grow around the wire.� I guess it's possible there's some signal loss, but I don't think it's significant. On VHF and FM broadcast, there's no doubt that summer foliage degrades reception in fringe areas.�� But being fringe probably means the signal is passing through *lots* of vegetation on the way.� I haven't seen any authoritative info to say that this is an issue at HF. 73- Nick, WA5BDU
