- Ok Guys, Now I need your help. My crank up tower is next to the gable wall of my house. I ran a 14ga solid wire up the side of the tower to a standoff, through a insulator and then horizontally above

- How about on the "bend" end put a pulley there with a nice 1/4 in dacron rope though it long enough so that both ends reach the ground. Then you can raise and lower the inverted L anytime you want. F

- Peter, Don't have them put up the wire at all. Get some of the best, most sunlight and water resistant rope you can. Make it big, much stronger than what you need for the antenna. Run it in a loop bi

- First thing that came to my mind would be a sweep-L made out of PVC. This would allow the wire to easily slide through it, without the need for a sharp bend. Also agreed with the other comment -- may

- I have one suggestion. Use a continuous loop of UV resistant rope through the pulley. With a pulley at ground level you can use the loop splice point to attach your L or whatever you choose, This way

- Heh... after you don't have a loop, and it breaks, and the end of the rope runs all the way up to the pulley and jams, you'll be a believer. Some folks at the JPLARC/CITARC (W6VIO/W6UE) field day thi

- Since you don't climb, Forget the pulley all together. It is not a matter of IF but WHEN the pulley will rust or fail . A marine pulley may last 8 - 10 years but it will eventually rust and fail Just
