It's one of those things that we're working on. Appreciate your input.
I wouldn't recommend using cable ties, though. The little square locking
mechanism sticks out too much for my liking and it could hang up on the coax
standoff. I prefer to use just tape - then there isn't anything to hang up and
is slips right through.
Bob, N6TV, uses a big 'net fish lander' and his cables coil into it on
the way down and uncoils from it on the way up - very slick and practically
foolproof. The fishing device has a big aluminum round frame with a sock of
fish net and a handle that you hold onto to land a fish (sorry - I'm not a
fisherperson).
