My Antenna Support is Down

For the past three years, the mesquite tree in my front yard has been serving admirable as a support for my VHF/UHF antenna.  It has not only supported the Diamond X50 vertical at a decent height, It has camouflaged it extremely well (I painted the antenna the same color as the tree trunk).

We had a huge windstorm last night and it blew the tree over. Tomorrow (Monday) I’ll call a tree removal service and then have a new tree put in.  It will be a few years before it can support an antenna however.

I live in an HOA with antenna restrictions (meaning ‘no antennas’) so I’ll have to figure out a solution.
