The problem with a weight is that it is also
a mass. I prefer a SPRING, which provides
force without much mass. A bungee cord inside
a piece of PVC pipe works well. The bungee
cord responds faster to wind gusts.

Retired recently and am getting back into ham radion.
I am planning on putting up a 80 to 10 meter OCF antenna. The antenna
will be supported on a TV tower with the ends attached to some pine
trees. I am planning on using a pulley and some weight on the ends to
allow for wind effects on the pine trees.
My question is how much weight will I need at the ends to allow for wind
movement of the trees?
Thanks,
