As has been posted on this reflector many many times, many hams use the Loos &
Co., Inc. tension gagues.  They are available at most boat stores (Boat US,
etc).  I use Model B which accepts 3/16, 7/32, 1/4, 9/32 inch cables  (I
increased the diameter, by drilling out the hole, to accomodate my 5/16 inch
EHS cables.) The tension goes from 240# to 2000# over the stock range of
cables. Loos also makes a smaller gague.

Thier info:

73,
