[Towertalk] Knots

[Jon, W4ZW]

As a sailor, I concur with the use of bowline knots.

I use them extensively in racing catamarans and have never had one fail.
I also use them in all my antenna work.  Fast, easy, secure and easy to
untie.

OTOH, when rock climbing I use the double "8" as do most friends I know.
More a matter of convention than anything else.

I would not hesitate to use the bowline.

My 2 cents.

Season's Greetings to all.
