You can also obtain electric fence insulators with a screw end and put them
into your trees. I have done this with good success. Just take them out
when and if you remove your antenna to prevent them causing a problem with a
chainsaw.

Beverages don't have to be perfect to work, but they should at least be
"sort of" straight.
An easy way to support them when there's no convenient support is to cut
10 ft pieces of rebar into 5 ft lengths, shove them halfway into the
ground, and slide lengths of 3/4-in PVC conduit over them. Drill 1/4-in
holes in the top of the PVC and ty-wrap the Beverage wire to the PVC.
It's also possible to simply lay the Beverage over high (or even low)
brush.

oaks and pecan trees which are laid out somewhat in a question mark
configuration. I could run the wire at about 10' high for a distance of
600'.
