Yes. In fact, Al is working on that right now. One method would be to move the stepper-cap board to the inside of the loop and hang it "upside down". We need to experiment a bit to see if that would affect anything to a noticeable degree. I don't know if you can see it, but the connecting parts are 3D printed and Al plans to make those files available, too. However, be forewarned they took almost a kilogram of filament and nearly 40 hours to print on Al's machine! You can also use plain PCV parts, too.
Since I want to use mine portable, I'm going to place an eye-hook at the top. That way, I can throw a rope over a limb and attach it to the eye-hook and use two tent stakes and some paracord tied to the sides to keep it from swaying. Will report how that works...if it ever stops raining.

Simply Beautiful.? Just what I need for my QTH.? Do you think the tuning cap and steppir could easily be weatherproofed?? A permanent install would be super-cool.
