If you read the ARRL Handbook or even the ARRL Antenna Handbook, you will be
well prepared for World War II.
In the past 60 years, a lot has changed.
There is nothing wrong with how we did it in the 1950s and 1960s, but as a
BIG SUPPORTER of KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid), I would like to point out
that a boatload of thing have changed in the past 50 years.
There were no bungees in 1960.
Both ways work and for me, a good rubber bungee is a lot simpler to deploy
than a rope through a pulley, supporting a bucket of cement that has been
calculated to represent the load that I need.
Fast forward 40 years; WW II is long since over; we have bungees. Just
deploy the right ones.

Subject: [TenTec] BUNGEE CORDS
My experience with bungee cords....they work good until winter comes.
When the temp goes below freezing your bungee is toast. It will crumble to
tiny pieces....Tom N4RS _______________________________________________
