I am up to my ears in packing and will be leaving the end of the month. If not, I would certainly lend a hand. Demo work can be fun. Know any ex-military that can get primer cord or equivalent. Oops, NSA is watching! That will definitely work and is low risk. Some number of moons ago there was a Huffy bicycle event that involved a contest to see how far someone could toss a Huffy. It was a long time ago, but I vaguely recall disassembly of a Huffy by a similar method. All kidding aside, SawzAll or small easily handled chain saws (depending on the dimensions of the wood) and a careful analysis of the design of the tree house to know where to cut first/last. I would tie ropes to it to encourage the fall in an appropriate direction. Perhaps two lines with a come along in each line would be good<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Back to the subject line; tell me more about the link concept. I will have 170 W on SSB/FM 2 M when I get the station set up. It might be about 200 mi air distance. I have a bit over 800 ft. elevation and a big lake that might serve some useful propagation purpose. I will try to communicate back to CT on 450 once I am in New Hampshire and have the station up. I will probably have HF before VHF as that is easier to set up.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>George<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> 450-bounces@lists.vhfwiki.com [mailto:450-bounces@lists.vhfwiki.com] <b>On Behalf Of </b>John Foege<br><b>Sent:</b> Monday, June 17, 2013 1:20 PM<br><b>To:</b> 450@lists.vhfwiki.com<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [450] The link<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p>So...<o:p></o:p></p><p>My Dad was cool with the link being permanently installed @ the East Mountain location....The hurdle was going to be my mom.<o:p></o:p></p><p>My mom agreed, but she said only if the 450 guys would pitch in to demolish the 23 year old tree house that just doesn't want to quit.....<o:p></o:p></p><p>M80s strapped all around and remote detonated anyone?<o:p></o:p></p><p>:-)<o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>On Jun 8, 2013 4:53 AM, "David McKenzie" <<a href="mailto:k1fsy@vhfwiki.com">k1fsy@vhfwiki.com</a>> wrote:<o:p></o:p></p><p>There it is in all its hacked up glory<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><br>_______________________________________________<br>450 mailing list<br><a href="mailto:450@lists.vhfwiki.com">450@lists.vhfwiki.com</a><br><a href="http://lists.vhfwiki.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/450" target="_blank">http://lists.vhfwiki.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/450</a><o:p></o:p></p></div></div></body></html>
