Hi Monty
Have to agree with you on that one.
I have a 160 meter inverted L up in a tree, and where it hooks to the bottom
secure point, I have one of those black rubber bungy-like things holding it.
It is the type you can get at an auto part store. I think they are used for
tie-downs, but they sure work good to take the worry about the wire
breaking. I also use a smaller bungy at the end of the antenna where it is
secured to the side of the garage.
On the 80 meter dipole, I have some springs that came from those old muscle
building gizmos--with a handle on each end and springs in the middle. 73
