What a wonderful bunch of guys on this reflector!
Best response to "anger of trees" was advice not to ski near them.
BTW, if u want to know how to refurbish a HyTower when knocked down, tune
in to me.
One comment of real value was note that "cut one tree and its roots which
were intertwined with the others nearby will stop helping the other trees
stand up."
Mine broke about a foot from the ground -- no signs of pine bores.
The serious undermessage of my post is: beware of hooking anything
important to trees (like guy wires, an antenna that is also hooked to your
tower, etc.). K4VUD
