Above the antenna video. Scared of heights?

Hi Rabbit!

Hindsight being 20-20, I think I would have done a nicer job on the video. But then again, it kind of shows the perspective which is what I wanted. In the video the antennas are actually pointed opposite of the way I normally have them. In the video they're pointed at Milwaukee actually.

That's to say that Chicago is directly behind that tall fresh green maple tree opposite of the point of the antennas. That tree is gotten substantially larger by at least four or five feet I think. Still, reception has been good with the XG 91 even with the reflectors still hanging and the 30 - 2476 is kind of a waste because we only have one VHF High channel in Chicago.

But you're right, it does put you right up there with the antennas and even gives me that queasy feeling because I'm somewhat afraid of heights. I have a difficult time looking down when I'm up high, even the video gives me that feeling!
