[TowerTalk] Can of Worms II

[Jeffrey Okamitsu]

Ok...now for another contentious issue with several of you.

I'm putting up a F12 620/340, a 415/410, and a WARC7D.  Some of you say
that one should lay rope inside the elements of these antennas to
preventy sympathetic (wind-driven) oscillation of the elements.

F12 claims that, assuming you follow their construction (tapering) plans
that rope is unnecessary.

So, give your views including your personal experience along with a
(brief) explaination as to why you believe what you do.

Thanks and 73,

Jeff, KN2R
