I think that the kindest way (to the tree) to fasten an antenna support is
not to wrap rope or wire around it, but instead to use a 4" or 6" coachbolt
screwed into the trunk, at 90 degrees to the direction of pull.
A 'coachbolt' is a large wood screw with a 4 or 6 sided bolt-head rather
than a slotted head for a screwdriver.
