- While I am a major bowline fan, I don't know if you'd want to do this. Knots do reduce the strength in a line. So your knot would reduce the strength of the Phillystran. I forget by how much but I th

- Jerry/Bruce-- Never use knots for Phillystran! And the Delrin block is "just OK" for a top boom guy--but NEVER should be used to structurally hold up a tower. For such a small tower (40ft of aluminum
