I was thinking of putting up a clothes line to reduce my electric bill since an electric clothes dryer uses about 5kw/hr which in this part of the country costs near a $1 to run. I had an old flag pole that I was not using anymore so I thought, why not use the back side of my pole that the 90cm GeoSatPro is mounted on??? So that is what I did, now I save a $1 every time I use my "energy star" rated clothesline :)

Here are some pictures that I took this past Sunday...

If that bud was lower you could just pin your clothes to it, and aim it at the sun!

I wish I could put it up another foot to get better signal on 137w in the summer time :) but if it could go lower, I would definitely do it since I really want to change it and it is difficult to change when it is located on a 10' pole...

The sheets definitely smell better being dried on the clothes line :)

I guess it's my Swedish/Canadian heritage, but I hang laundry out on the line year round. When it's 25 below, there's just something pleasant about being outside near my dishes, haha. Yes, everything dries in winter, even if it sometimes takes a couple days.
