My second antenna was a rectangular loop about 59 inch by 203 inches and fed 40 inches up from the bottom with that cross wire. Again the feed point is the purple doughnut. You can see the overall shape at the top of the picture above. The antenna is turned slightly away from us and you can see the radiation pattern it will generate below. This antenna mainly radiates perpendicular to its two broad sides. I pointed toward the largest population centers on the east coast and the opposite side faced Hawaii and Australia. My third antenna which I mounted in the same tree as this one, was just an off-center fed dipole. A dipole is just a piece of wire, normally hung horizontally.

I figured a few videos showing my efforts to get these antennas in the air would be more interesting than pictures. I taped my cell phone to my camera tripod and shot the video above. The arrow is tipped with nails. These add weight so that the arrow will pull the fishing line down to the ground. The line is spooling from a fishing rod and reel on the ground you can't see. I must be ultra careful that the line is not tangled, hooked on vegetation and that the reel is released or I could launch the whole assembly into the tree.
