Congratulations to all who have been making comments on the antennas last few
days. It is refreshing to see such intelligent, well thought out and
respectful discussions. I read many of the reflectors and newsgroups and
frequently these discussions turn ugly very quickly, but not here.
160 ops are true gentlemen, for sure.
As for me and what I am doing to improve things marginally for the new season,
I have installed new line in the tree that holds up part of my inv L. I have a
loop made of old RG62 coax that goes up over a tall branch. To this I have
attached a pulley with rope holding up the antenna. This way if the rope
breaks I can lower the pulley easily. The coax is also less likely to get
stuck in the tree branch (it is slippery), and should last a very long time.
It's the equivalent of having a pulley attached permanently in the tree, but
with the flexibility of lowering it if necessary.
