I use an EZ-Hang slingshot to throw rope over the tree limbs, and then use that
to pull the wire antenna into place. I remove a length of the outer insulation
from an old piece of coax and, once I see where the rope crosses the tree limb,
I slide the coax insulation onto that part of the rope. It's pretty good and
long-lasting protection against wear and tear. And like Herb, I use a
counterweight, rather than tying the rope tight -- not perfect, but it absorbs
some blows without the antenna coming down.
