No more slingshots! A video demonstrating how I used my drone to deploy my wire HF antenna over a tree in my backyard. I gave up the traditional slingshot method in favor of using more modern technology. For my antenna, I'm using an Icom AH-4 antenna tuner matching a 72-foot length of 14 gauge wire for my Icom IC-7300 radio. The drone is a DJI Mavic 2 Pro, with a Hanatora payload release device I bought off of Amazon. I've seen similar devices for the original Mavic Pro as well. I also have an Autel Evo 2 drone, but unfortunately I have not seen any drop mechanisms for this drone.
