After many delays, we finally got a long end-fed half-wave antenna wire up into the Very Tall Tree on the edge of our lot. We used a drone to lift fishing line up and over, and a weight to keep it below the prop blades. Then pulled a paracord line, then the antenna wire up. Secured with bungee and counterweights to allow for wind - fingers crossed 🤞on that. (Zoom in on the second photo to see the wire)

WB2EEE,

@dcreemer Drones are going to be the next thing for me. I used an EZ hang slingshot (https://ezhang.com/) with a fishing reel for many years, but I can't aim worth a darn anymore. A drone would allow placement exactly where I wanted and no danger of putting a fishing weight through my neighbors siding. 😩 Any recommendations for the type of drone?
