Good thing said mattress was covered in plastic; the day was very windy and eventually snapped the hold-down string, taking it out into the entrance of a side street. It came in handy even when my latest Zenith was delivered, and I don't know what I would have done without it when moving.
As for climbing trees with transmitters, I guess I should do that under the cover of darkness.

That or you have to master the ability to look like you belong. Perhaps a clipboard, official looking name badge, and a lab coat should do the trick...
The other caveat being that most of the trees here are very near power lines and I don't particularly fancy holding a big metal rod near those... The few kv at mA range in TVs isn't so bad in comparison to 5+KV on the order of a few hundred amps... Once played golf on a course which was spanned by some EHT lines (the ones on the BIIIIG metal towers, I think those are a few hundred KV for distribution...) You could most definitely hear it, just about feel it in the air, and man, was I nervous swinging a big metal rod around... Just imagine the sound of taking off your sweater on a dry winter day, but then on a much louder and more menacing sounding scale... at about 60hz.
