SUBJECT: HF Bird Feeder Antenna,Part three
Installing the antenna:
 The base piece for the bird feeder mast should be one size larger than the
bottom section of the mast. The mast should be able to side in a snug 
ashion,
but not too tight. Since you are installing a 'bird feeder',you shouldn't 
ave
any problem explaining what you are doing. Simply lay the bird feeder and 
ast
right out in the open.
 Your nosey neighbors will know exactly what you're doing (almost).
 The coax is the tough part. Trenches are out of the question.
 Use a sidewalk edger (manual) and make a thin cut in the grass. If you have
other obsticles,you will have to deal with that when you come to it.
 The object is to do it when the neighbors are not going to notice.
 The thin cut in the lawn will not be seen and will 'heal' quickly.
 A tricky technique is to use a wheelblade on a handle. It will look like you
are using a measuring device. The cable can be laid into the cut at dawn,when
you are filling the bird feeder.
 Stepping on the cut lawn on the way back seals the cut.
 Now you're in business.
 Next: Mobile resonators for HF. Their small,they work and they hide well
in places you would overlook. And they can be placed right out in the open.
