Putting them up on a hill/mountain with other windblown pine trees can start out well...

I have to agree the first effort looked pretty good. But, time demonstrated how badly the plastic/metal/fiberglass fake limbs do in weather. It's an imperfect solution. If people would just quit using their phones, it wouldn't be a problem at all. :)

There was a spot north of there where I was not using my phone. More accurately, Android Auto was not using my phone, or at least the street map.

You know, I always feel bad for the people that really believe that. They are quite sincere in their concern for what radio energy does to all creatures including humans.
