Hi Stanley:

Well, I have used this system on many occasions. The only problem is that
in some of the camping areas I have been in, the trees are so dense you
cannot string a wire in any direction except for straight up!

I guess this would work for 20 and possibly 40 meters if I could get the
wire high enuff into a tree. I do have a Zuni-Loop Anti-gravity Device
(sling shot and fishing reel combo) that works great, but I kinda wanted
to get away from the wire thing.

Tnx for the input.
