EZ Hang Square Shot Review
The 10-80M End Fed Half Wave antenna arrived. It was time to get it up in the trees in my backyard. I have a oak tree that is about 30 feet tall, and a 40ft pine tree. At my age there is no way that I’m climbing them.
I looked at several methods of getting the antenna up in the trees. The coolest was using a drone. At Field Day, a guy had a compressed air cannon that worked really well.I didn’t want to have to learn to fly a drone or construct a cannon. Then I saw the EZ Hang. I admit, I had my doubts – not about the EZ Hang itself, but my ability to use it. They have a new improved model called the EZ Hang Square Shot. I crossed my fingers and ordered it.
It arrived a few days ago. This morning We gave it a shot. I say ‘we’ because I drafted Sweet Lady Wife as the spotter to see where the yellow weight landed. I carefully read the instructions one more time, put the weight in the slingshot pocket, pulled back, and let fly. son-of-a-gun if the weight didn’t sail over the top of the pine tree and land on the other side! Sweet Lady Wife saw it hit the ground and directed me to it.
I reeled in the supplied leader line and was set for the next tree. (Confession: I was so excited about the EZ Hang working on the first try that I immediately shot an email to Denning (Mr. EZ Hang). Subsequently, the operation on the Oak tree went just as well.
Hopefully, my 10-80M End Fed Half Wave antenna will be on the air tomorrow, thens to the EZ Hang.
