I fling my small, angled rock (with a string wrapped around it) underhanded using one arm, then after pulling string thru, attach heavier line(s); over many years, I've gotten to be pretty good & can usually get a line over a 50' treetop after a few tries; of course, the DX Engineering kit wud be great to have, but I started doing this decades ago, so why change, LOL!🇺🇸

Nice activation! Thanks for sharing how you get the antenna up using the arborist weight and throw line. Love the "granny" technique. Cheers and 73 de W3LAM!

Just fuse the end of the line by melting it with a butane lighter or otherwise. 3M Scotch brand 33+ electrical tape doesn't grow on trees, y'know... ; )

What torroid mix do you use with the 64:1 ratio? 3 primary turns and 24 secondary turns..... You should do a video onnhow to wind it. Everything is geared for 40 meters and up, but I rin 80-40 almost exclusively and I want to set my EFHW's to run lower frequencies.

Check out K6ARK. He's got a tutorial on how to assemble, and also sells an easy kit in Amazon. The toroid uses a 43 mix.

Great setup, great method. What is the downside of placing the throwline laid out between you and the tree. I realize as you are essentially throwing backwards over your head you will have to have line beside you or over your shoulder. My experience has been that having line between you and the tree makes it less likely the throw line will catch on ground cover. I might see you some time as I operate in the central part of Brevard county mostly in county parks. kzitem.info/news/bejne/z4meqo2ik3l8n5g N4VEP

I like to have the line in front of me just in case I booger up the throw and need to stop the line before it gets hung up in the tree.

How much mass? Throw weight. I think mine is too heavy… also I wear gloves - rope burn, is no fun.

I have a few, from 10-14oz I believe. I'm need to pick up something a little lighter though. And rope burn is a real issue, but I haven't had too much of a problem with the arborist line. It might be because my hands are so callused to start with 🤷♂️🤣
