Hi Jay, I was speaking of Vinnie's Imax. I don't know what they are
rated for.

I already know your antenna can handle it and more!

According to the manual, it is tested at 5,000 watts. Sounds rather
high.

Does it matter that it's in a tree?

Only if you want to see a huge forest fire !!!

Not with 100 dinkers. (is it in a field of dead pines?)

At any rate, that may change the antenna's function a bit. (?)

I'm still concerned about the lightning strikes. Your mast is
living plant material.

But it's not as high as many of the live, wet trees. I think I am ground pretty
good, just by the quietness of the radio. I don't hear any static at all.
Everything is super quiet.

Anyway, I am going to eat a bag of chips before I go to bed.

Good night !!!!!!
