I was going to show a more recent picture but I need to trim some bushes.  Anyway, the first pic is a pan of the antenna skyhooks.  Bet you can't find the ant.  The second pic is a highe res pic - even then it's hard to find it.

Is there a good program (preferrably free) that will allow me to stitch my pics together?

In the first picture I see 4 wires. In the second picture I see three wires. Is there some significance in trying to locate your wires in the picture? Didn't we do this several months ago. If you're having trouble locating the wires, tie some old socks to them at multiple points along the run. Much easier to find.

Al,
How do you get snow in July in N.H.?  Oh wait, these must be old pictures! 

Put enough RF into that antenna and make that wire shine Al!

All

I guess I was a little inept with this post.  The question I had with this post was an inquiry about a good program (preferrably free) that would allow me to stitch two pictures together such that I could get a decent resolution (not blurred) panoramic picture. This blurred panoramic was done by using PowerPoint.  I was really pushing things but I bet if any of you-all were to drive by, you would recognize where you were.

Joe thanks for the kind words.  I still pinch myself at the success of this whole ham shack project.  Again, thanks

If you want drive-by notice, you need one of these up in the air:

Someday Pete.  I want my antenna to be effective but not too noticable although I admit the tower does stick out a bit.  Plans include a self-supporting tower in the back 40 with triband (or WARC), 6 meters and a big 2 m ant so I can get back into some 2 m DX that I enjoyed back in the 70s
