Great pics as always Observer, love the country you're finding..I too have found old sign of chainsaw activity way up in the middle of nowhere...

Its weird hey, maybe some sort of testing at the one spot anyways. But others no clue, definitely not shooting lanes and they didn't burn the wood just left it laying there.

A jet flew in front of the sun and the shadow of the jet stream produced a sword in the sky. A gift from the creator to slay dragons with.

Indeed weird, though I find them most often in old burns which makes sense..

It's an Arrow II portable Yagi antenna. It's a directional VHF/UHF antenna but in that pic I only have the VHF elements connected. The funny thing is, the antenna is actually made of arrow shafts and uses the same threading as the arrows I actually shoot. It also folds up into a 22" cloth camo-roll up bag. I am willing to bet whoever designed it was a hunter LOL

It's a handy rig. I'm able to get into repeaters 100+ miles away, some of which are internet and phone connected so I can actually bring up links to more distant repeaters and get out a phone call through the radio if I need to. If that's not nerdy enough, it's good for satellites too. The space station for example passes within range 3-5 times a day and you can bounce your signal all over the continent and sometimes you can talk to astronauts.

BTW does anyone know the frequency they use for radio collared deer? Lmao ... that's the other fun (and creepy?) part about directional antennas. You can actually pin point where a signal is coming from.
