Topband: Need Ideas For "Fusing" Beverages From Falling Trees

[Mark - N5OT]

 > This arrangement allows the wire to withstand several large trees 
falling along its length (1000 ft) - and the antennas keep working.

Strange as it sounds, (living where I live and all that), sometimes 
during an ice storm all you really want to do is get on the air and play 
radio.  Can't really go out with the chainsaw while it's happening.  
That's for later.

I am liking the counterweight approach as what I may use if I put up 
long wires like that.
