Hi Phil, Bad news. Very sorry indeed.
I agree with Ron about strain relief when using trees. A MUST in my opinion. Here I have a rope catenary up about 80 feet and about 200ft long, one end to a pine tree - the other to a hardwood. Both dance in the 100 mph winds we get at times, nothing like your winds. The rope is 6mm triple braided ultraviolet resistant for marine use. The pulleys also for marine use (sheets) with ball bearings and of the ENCLOSED type so that the chance of a flying twig jamming a pulley is much reduced. I had this happen years ago when using "open" pulleys. My counterweight is like Ron's but low tech. Don't have the bucket yet. Good luck and 73, Geoff GM4ESD ----- Original Message ----- From: "Phil LaMarche" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, September 07, 2004 9:36 PM Subject: [Elecraft] Antenna Wire > Just lost all my wire antenna's in the hurricane just passed.
