Hi Roy - I had that set up when my QTH was in New Hampshire...I tied 2
window sashe weights to one end and it seemed to do the job riding up
and down in the wind...course we never had any hurricanes...72 Bruce.
72/73 - Bruce ve5rc/ve5qrp - I believe in the KIS principle.

Subject: [Elecraft] Antenna Suspension
I am using a Carolina Windom 80 suspended with 3/16" nylon rope through
stainless steel eyehooks up 50' between two large oak trees. These
trees are
approx 123 feet apart. Because I am located in hurricane alley and
subject to high
winds, I would like to remove the permanent tiedown on one of the trees
and
tie a weight to the rope. I would like to know how much weight should
be used.
What kind of weight (how many bricks or what-have-you). Thanks. Roy
