Reading N2NL blog http://www.n2nl.net/?p=375 with a description of his work
to set up beverages in Guam jungle, reminded me of the work I had to do to
put beverages in PY0FF downhill jungle.

In Madeira CR3E the USA beverage also goes through lots of forestation and
it is very easy to loose track of the correct direction.

Well not anymore.

With GPS Android phone free app

it
is very easy to keep a beverage wire fully aligned with the desired
direction, in the middle of heavy forestation/jungle, thanks to GPS reading
