Hi Ed
One of most impressive study about Tree and antenna performance was
presented few month ago by Dr. Kay Siwiak, KE4PT during the South Florida DX
association. The study was based on years or resources at Motorola about RF
on living body.
Live tree does affect RF performance. There are more information on QST Feb
2018 pg 35 to 39 , Kai Siwiak, E4PT,and Richard Quick, W4RQ
Here you can download the presentation

Very interesting stuff. I love the last comments on page 18
"In Practice, everything works, but we don't know why"
" In Theory, we know everything, but nothing works"
We combine Theory and Practice:
NOTHING WORKS, AND WE DON'T KNOW WHY!

Subject: Topband: Inv L in Tree
Has anybody snaked a wire up a tall tree trunk to make an Inv L?
Any interaction? Success?? Has to be stealthy because the tree os my
neighbor's :-)
