Drones

[woodchip]

A while back I posted how I was getting into Ham radio. Got my Tech license and now studying for my General class license. Anyways I'm also looking to set up a antenna to get over the 40' high ridge just to the south of me (determined height from Google Pro). So while I got a horz. end fed dipole in the back yard, in my front yard I have a couple of 150-200 foot Cottonwoods. I was talking to my neighbor about how to get a line up that high and he suggested using his drone. I latched onto the idea as using a slingshot didn't seem to be workable, at least at the heights needed. I think Ferno at one time said he was into drones so any suggestion would be appreciated.
Shooting to put up a vertical wire antenna. Only drawback is the length of the coax I'll need to hook it to my transceiver. My other neighbor will also be a resource as he knows everything from A to Z about Ham radio and antenna's and is interested in helping out.

With the help of my 2 neighbors, we got the drone to fly a #12 bank line up and over a upper tree limb. Next is to get the actual antenna wire up.

Finally got the antenna set up and connected with Florida and Hawaii with it.
