[TowerTalk] Knots

[Earl Morse <n8ss2014@gmail.com>]

Old boy scout here too.

Most common knots for ham radio applications I use are all from my scouting
days.

taut line hitch
Boy scouts use them on tent ropes, hams use them for adjustable vertical
antenna guys..

square knot  sheet bend
Use for joining two ropes together.  Square knot for same size and sheet
bend for two different size ropes.

bowline
When you need a loop that won't slip.

clove hitch
tying off that horse at the hitching post or pulling that dipole end tight
as you tie it off around a tree
