    Have you had any issues hanging at Koomer Ridge?

    Like the OP, I haven't hung in several years, but for different reasons. I did hang once in Koomer, but was not sure if they had any rules since.

    Two great hobbies. Maybe we will QSO sometime hammock-to-hammock, if I ever get back out into my hammock. My 817 and end fed wire would work great from the hammock.
