[TenTec] Horizontal loop for 80m

[Phil Chambley, Sr.]

I guess everyone has their own idea of what's best in a particular
situation....I stopped using pullies years ago and started using "johnny
balls" or porcelain egg insulators instead.  They're slick, won't ever rust
or jam, and the rope can't jump the pulley and wedge itself between the
wheel and the housing.
