I always liked using the "AXE KNOT"... you know, that's the knot you have to
take off with a AXE!!! If not the AXE KNOT.. I'd go with the bowline... I
must have tied that know a Gozillion times in the fire service

Subject: [TowerTalk] Guy Rope Knot
I'm putting up a 40' aluminum mast as an end point for an all band dipole
antenna. What's the best way to attach the guy ropes to the anchors? At the
moment, it's been suggested I use a tautline hitch. I've used this knot
before to hold up dipoles, not sure about its reliability as a guy rope
knot. However, I like that it allows the rope to move either way so I can
adjust it. Are there some other knots to consider? How about some kind of
mechanical device?
Thanks,
Kelley - W0RK
